Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

1. Example 1

   Write a fraction equivalent to 1/3

   1. Equivalent fractions name the same amount. Multiply (or divide) the top and bottom of 1/3 by the same number.
   2. Multiply the top and bottom by 2: 1 × 2 = 2 and 3 × 2 = 6, so 1/3 = 2/6.
   3. So 1/3 = 2/6.

   Answer: 2/6

2. Example 2

   Write 6 1/2 as an improper fraction

   1. Each whole is 2/2, so 6 wholes are 6 × 2 = 12 parts: 12/2.
   2. Add the 1 more: 12 + 1 = 13, so the numerator is 13 and the denominator stays 2.
   3. So 6 1/2 = 13/2.

   Answer: 13/2

3. Example 3

   8 × 2/3 = ?

   1. 8 × 2/3 means 8 groups of 2/3.
   2. Multiply the whole number by the numerator: 8 × 2 = 16. The denominator stays 3.
   3. So 8 × 2/3 = 16/3.

   Answer: 16/3
