Essentials Question
How Can Different Fractions Name the Same Part of a Whole?

Visual Learning Bridge
The Chisholm Trail was used to drive cattle to market. Ross’s herd has walked $$\frac{1}{2}$$ the distance to market. What is another way to name $$\frac{1}{2}$$?

$$\frac{1}{2}$$ = $$\frac{}{}$$ You can use fraction strips.

The fractions $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$\frac{2}{4}$$ represent the same part of the whole.
Two $$\frac{1}{4}$$ strips are equal to $$\frac{1}{2}$$, so $$\frac{1}{2}$$ = $$\frac{2}{4}$$.
Another name for $$\frac{1}{2}$$ is $$\frac{2}{4}$$.

You can find other equivalent fractions. Think about fractions that name the same part of the whole.

Four $$\frac{1}{8}$$ strips are equal to $$\frac{1}{2}$$, so $$\frac{1}{2}$$ = $$\frac{4}{8}$$.
Another name for $$\frac{1}{2}$$ is $$\frac{4}{8}$$

Convince Me! Look for Relationships In the examples above, what pattern do you see in the fractions that are equivalent to $$\frac{1}{2}$$? What is another name for $$\frac{1}{2}$$ that is not shown above?

The other name is 4/8.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
Four $$\frac{1}{8}$$ strips are equal to $$\frac{1}{2}$$.
