About this worksheet
Equivalent fractions name the same amount in different-size pieces: 3/4 is the same as 9/12, because the top and the bottom are both multiplied by 3. Finding the missing number in a pair of equivalent fractions is the skill behind comparing, adding and simplifying fractions.
On this fifth grade sheet a child completes sixteen pairs, some with the top missing and some with the bottom, in a mixed order. Each version has different fractions, and the answer key gives each missing number.
What your child will learn
- Multiply the top and bottom by the same number
- Find the missing top number
- Find the missing bottom number
- See that equivalent fractions are the same amount
Common Core standard: 4.NF.A.1
Worked example
3/4 = 9/12, because 3 × 3 = 9 and 4 × 3 = 12.
Common mistake
Changing only the top or only the bottom, so 3/4 = 9/4.
Helpful hint
Find the number the known top or bottom was multiplied by, then multiply the other part by it.
