## 17tebudig 3 years ago I need help with my math homework. It is over Equivelent Fractions. And I was wondering if you would help me with the problems:

1. agdgdgdgwngo

What are equivalent fractions?

2. 17tebudig

They are somthing that you use and they are the same fraction. Example. 6/12 and 12/24 is equvelent

3. agdgdgdgwngo

Why are they equivalent?

4. 17tebudig

They are equal they can go into each other

5. agdgdgdgwngo

Alright :-D

6. 17tebudig

I am guessing you cant help me. thank you for your time

7. MetalPen

That's not really why they're equivalent.... 2 goes into 4.

8. 17tebudig

MetalPen can you help me with my homework then

9. MetalPen

Okay.

10. 17tebudig

The instructions say write a fraction equivelent to the given number. And the problem is 8. I dont understand that

11. MetalPen

Give a fraction equivalent to the number 8? 8 is really 8/1.

12. 17tebudig

so it would be 8/1?

13. MetalPen

Sure.

14. MetalPen

You understand why right?

15. 17tebudig

no

16. MetalPen

Lol. Think of it just as 8 divided by 1, not as a fraction. What's 8 divided by 1? 8 right?

17. 17tebudig

Oh. I get it now. Thank you(: Do you mind helping me with an actual fraction?

18. MetalPen

Sure. Oh and, since I think it's clear you are at a lower level, we could stay in contact and I could help you with your math since we will increase our knowledge in math monotonically.

19. 17tebudig

okayy... the problem is 2 2/3

20. MetalPen

Okay. Well turn it into an improper fraction first.

21. MetalPen

2=2/1, and 2/1 + 1/3 is what?

22. phi

8= 16/2 = 24/3 and of course lots of other examples

23. 17tebudig

6+2=8 so 8/3

24. MetalPen

Yup.

25. agdgdgdgwngo

right

26. MetalPen

Lol. Anymore questions?

27. agdgdgdgwngo

So all you have to do is come up with your own fractions that 'go into' the given number.

28. 17tebudig

yess, just to make sure I am right

29. 17tebudig

9 8/11 so 9*11= 99+8=107 so it is 107/11

30. 17tebudig

right?

31. MetalPen

Yup.

32. 17tebudig

Okay. Thank you(: i gave like 3 more lol

33. 17tebudig

*i got 3 more

34. MetalPen

Okay sure.

35. 17tebudig

4 26/13

36. MetalPen

78/13

37. MetalPen

Am I correct? I did it in my head.

38. MetalPen

So it might not be accurate. :(

39. 17tebudig

I got 68/13

40. agdgdgdgwngo

is the fraction $$4 \frac{26}{13}$$ ?

41. MetalPen

Let's see. Rounded it's about 40+30.

42. agdgdgdgwngo

or is it $$\frac{6}{13}$$

43. MetalPen

So I'll have to do the math out.

44. 17tebudig

yes, first one ag

45. MetalPen

|dw:1325723887340:dw|

46. MetalPen

Hehe messy. So uh. 2 more?

47. agdgdgdgwngo

$\frac{26}{13} = 2 \implies 4\frac{26}{13} = 4 + 2 = 6$

48. 17tebudig

Yea. and i cant add lol

49. agdgdgdgwngo

78/13 is right too

50. MetalPen

6 is not a fraction. I don't know what you're talking about.

51. 17tebudig
