The document defines equivalent fractions as fractions that name the same amount. It then provides examples of equivalent fractions by showing how different fractions can represent the same portion of a whole through operations like multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number. The key rule discussed is that to make fractions equivalent, the same operation must be performed on both the numerator and denominator.
