What are Equivalent Fractions?

Fractions represent equal parts of a whole or a collection. A fraction has two parts. The number on the top of the line is called the numerator which tells how many equal parts of the whole or collection are taken.  The number below the line is called the denominator and it shows the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into or the total number of equal parts which are there in a collection. 

Definition of Equivalent Fractions

The fractions that represent the same value but look different (i.e different numerators or denominators) are called equivalent fractions. In other words, two or more fractions are said to be equivalent fractions if they are equal to the same fraction after we simplify them.
