Fractions represent equal parts of the same whole. If the wholes are different, like two chocolates of different sizes, then 1/3 of one and 1/2 of the other cannot be compared fairly.

For example, 1/3 of a small chocolate may be smaller than 1/2 of a big chocolate. To compare fractions correctly, the whole objects should always be the same size.

Equivalent fractions are fractions that may have different numerators and denominators but still represent the same portion of a whole. For example, if we divide a chocolate into 2 parts, 1/2 means one piece. If we divide it into 4 parts, 2/4 also means the same half. Similarly, 1/3 = 2/6 = 3/9. TheRead more
