Equivalent fractions explained through fraction strips
Test your understanding of equivalent fractions with fraction strips by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Let's use fraction strips to see how many sixths are the same as 2 thirds
🎙️
We can see that each third is the same as 2 sixths by lining them up. This is the same for every third, each is 2 sixths.
🎙️
We can write these as equivalent fractions. 1 third is the exact same thing as 2 sixths.
🎙️
So if we have 2 thirds, and each third is 2 sixths, then we have a total of 4 sixths
