This document discusses equivalent fractions. It provides examples of multiplying both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number other than zero to obtain an equivalent fraction. It demonstrates this process by showing the calculations to find equivalent fractions for 1/2, 3/5, 2/6, and solving for missing numerators or denominators in fraction equivalences. The key point is that to get equal or equivalent fractions, the numerator and denominator must be multiplied or divided by the same number.
