Grade: 8-a Lesson: S1-L1

Explanation: Hello Students, time to learn examples. Let us take turns and read each example. Explain each step. Pay special attention to steps and pictures and communicate in your own words.

Examples:

Write an equivalent fraction to the given fraction \$2/3 = ?/12\$

Step 1a

Given equivalent fraction
\$2/3\$=\$?/12\$

$1a$

Explanation: In this step, the given fraction is \$2/3\$ = \$-/12\$. To find an equivalent fraction of 2/3 with a denominator of 12, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Step 1b

To find what number you can multiply 3 by to get 12. That number is 4.
Number to multiply = \$12/3 = 4\$

$1b$

Explanation: To convert \$2/3\$ to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 12, you need to divide 12 by the current denominator (3) i.e., \$12/3 = 4\$

Step 1c

Now, multiply both the numerator and denominator of \$2/3\$ by 4:
\$2/3 \times 4/4 = 8/12\$
So,\$2/3\$is equivalent to \$8/12\$ when the denominator is 12.

$1c$

Explanation: In this step,here by multiplying 2 and 4, we get 8 and by multiplying 3 and 4, we get 12 So,\$2/3\$ is equivalent to \$8/12\$
