We can do this by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of one-fourth by 2: 14\u00d722=28\\frac{1}{4} \\times \\frac{2}{2} = \\frac{2}{8} So, one-fourth is equivalent to two-eighths (2\/8).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><br>This means that 2 eighths (2\/8) are equal to one-fourth (1\/4).

In this case, we used multiplication to make the denominator of the fraction one-fourth match the denominator of the fraction one-eighth. Once we converted the fraction, it became clear that two-eighths are equivalent to one-fourth. This process is known as finding equivalent fractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to think about this visually is using fraction tiles. If you have a fraction tile representing one-fourth and another representing one-eighth, you will notice that two one-eighth tiles can fit into the one-fourth tile.
