Multiply both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same whole number. As long as you multiply both the top and bottom of the fraction by the same number, you won't change the value of the fraction, and you'll create an equivalent fraction.

To find the equivalent fractions for any given fraction, multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number. For example, to find an equivalent fraction of 3/4, multiply the numerator 3 and the denominator 4 by the same number, say, 2. Thus, 6/8 is an equivalent fraction of 3/4.
10x = 26. From here,getting an answer for our variable is a matter of simple algebra. x = 26/10 = 2.6,making the initial equivalent fractions 2/2.6 = 10/13.

Hello! Regarding your question. 1. 6/7; the equivalent fraction can be 12/14 (by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 2). and 6. 2/3 = 4/6 (multiplied by 2 as well). I hope this helps! :)

How do you calculate equivalent fractions?
2 × 13 = 26
10 × x = 10x
10x = 26. From here,getting an answer for our variable is a matter of simple algebra. x = 26/10 = 2.6,making the initial equivalent fractions 2/2.6 = 10/13.
