Introduction to Equivalent Fractions

Before starting to solve the puzzles, we will first know what an equivalent fraction is.

When two different fractions give the same value, those fractions are called equivalent fractions. Let’s take two fractions, 1/3 and 2/6. At first glance, you will say that these two fractions aren’t equal.

But look and think deeply. Take 1/3 and multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2. This means you have to do 1×2/3×2. What do you get? It is 2/6. Here, we have multiplied both the numerator and the denominator by a common factor, and both the fractions 1/3 and 2/6 represent the same value.
