Equivalent fractions

The fractions $\large\frac{3}{5}$ and $\large\frac{6}{10}$ are equivalent.
- You can tell these fractions are equivalent because they have the same amount of the bar shaded.
- The only thing that is different between the bars is how they have been split up.

Are these equivalent?

You can spot equivalent fractions by seeing if you can multiply the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) by the same number to go between the fractions.
