Description

This example illustrates the process of generating equivalent fractions by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by the same scale factor. This approach is equivalent to multiplying the fraction by 1, which does not alter its value. The example shows how this method can be used to create fractions that are different in appearance but equal in value. The skills involved include understanding multiplication of fractions and recognizing that multiplying by a scale factor maintains the fraction's equivalence. This foundational skill is crucial for simplifying fractions, comparing different fractions, and solving problems involving proportional reasoning.
