Equivalent Fractions using Models
Equivalent fractions are different fractions that have the same value or represent same part of a whole.
Models represent equivalent fractions if they have the same shape, size, and shaded area.
In the first model, 5 parts out of 10 equal parts are shaded. So, it represents the fraction
5 10
.
In the second model, 4 parts out of 8 equal parts are shaded. So, it represents the fraction
4 8
.
Now, observe that both the models have the same shape and size. Also, the shaded part of the two models are same.
