Imagine cutting a cake into 12 equal slices and taking 5 of them (5\/12). If you then cut each of those 12 slices in half, the cake would have 24 slices in total, and you would have 10 of those smaller slices (10\/24). The amount of cake you have remains exactly the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fundamental principle for finding an equivalent fraction is to multiply (or divide) both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) by the same non-zero whole number. This works because multiplying a number by a fraction like 2\/2, 3\/3, or 4\/4 is the same as multiplying by 1, which does not change the original value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step-by-Step Process:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start with the original fraction:<\/strong><br>5\/12<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose any whole number greater than 1.<\/strong>\u00a0A simple choice is 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiply the numerator by the chosen number:<\/strong><br>5 \u00d7 2 = 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiply the denominator by the same number:<\/strong><br>12 \u00d7 2 = 24<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Form the new fraction with the new numerator and denominator:<\/strong><br>10\/24<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Consequently, 10\/24 is an equivalent fraction to 5\/12. This process can be repeated with any number to generate an infinite number of equivalent fractions. For example, multiplying by 3 would yield 15\/36, and multiplying by 10 would yield 50\/120. All these fractions\u20145\/12, 10\/24, 15\/36, and 50\/120\u2014represent the exact same value.thumb_upthumb_down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner4-926.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-231599\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find an equivalent fraction to 5\/ 12 Answer:&nbsp;An equivalent fraction to&nbsp;5\/12&nbsp;is&nbsp;10\/24.
