Fractions
We know any number divided by itself equals 1
5÷5=1
8÷8=1
365 ÷ 365 = 1
So…

Fractions
To get equivalent fractions, we just multiply or
divide the numerator and denominator by the
same number.
Fractions
Why do you get fractions with the same value if
you multiply or divide the top and bottom by
the same number?

Proper fraction: fraction where the
numerator is less than (<) the denominator
