# Visualizing equivalent fractions review

Review equivalent fractions with fraction models and number lines, and try some practice problems.

## Equivalent fractions

Fractions are equivalent if they are equal or represent the same amount.

### Fraction model

Let's look at an example.
$\dfrac12=\dfrac?8$
First, we can draw $\dfrac12$.
Now, let's divide the same whole into eighths.
How can we shade the whole to show a fraction that is equivalent to $\dfrac12$?
We shaded $4$ of the $8$ sections.
So, $\dfrac12=\dfrac48$.

### Number line

Let's visualize another equivalent fraction using a number line.
$\dfrac35=\dfrac?{10}$
Numbers are equivalent when they are located at the same point on the number line.
First, we can show $\dfrac35$ on a number line:

Now, let's divide our number line into tenths and see what fraction is located at the same point as $\dfrac35$.
$\dfrac6{10}$ and $\dfrac35$ are located at the same point on the number line.
$\dfrac35=\dfrac6{10}$
