Parents,
Students have to complete homework on pg.337 in their math book. We went over equivalent fractions using multiplication. For example, they might have to decide if 3/4 is equal to 6/8. They would think about the numerators in each fraction and decide what times 3 (the numerator in the first fraction is equal to 6 (the numerator in the second fraction). We know that 3 X 2 is 6. Whatever we multiply on top, we multiply the same factor on the bottom with the denominators. When we do this we multiply 4 X 2 which is equal to 8. Since we used the same factor (2) to multiply and get the answer, we know the fractions are equivalent. You can also look at the previous pages for this lesson on 6.2 or the lesson on Think Central for additional assistance.
Have a good night.
