What is a equivalent fraction

If fractions are equivalent, then even though the numbers in them look different,

they actually have the same numerical value. The ratio of each numerator to its

denominator is the same, and if you divide either numerator by its denominator,

you get the same quotient.

Example of equivalent fractions:

1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10

are all equivalent.
