When two or more fractions have the same value, they are called the equivalent fractions. For example; one of two brothers ate one out of two pieces of pizza, which means this person ate half of pizza, this can be represented as "1/2"
Now there were four pieces of pizza and the other brother ate two pieces out of those four pieces of this pizza. This fraction can be represented as "2/4".
Now if we see both brothers ate half of the pizza, which means one out of two "1/2" and two out of four "2/4" both represent the same fraction of the whole, and which is half.
Hence the equivalent fractions represent the same part of a whole. Equivalent fractions can be obtained by multiplying and dividing the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number.
