Year 6 equivalent fractions

Here is another page of equivalent fractions. A part of each pair of fractions is missing and the missing numerator or denominator should be entered. Remember, equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same total value.

One interesting way to check whether two groups equivalent is to perform a couple of multiplications; What is known as cross multiplication. To verify that a/b is equal to c/d just multiply a by d, and then (b) multiplying c. If the two answers are equal then the fractions equivalent. This is a really good way to check to see if the answers are correct.
