How would you use multiplication to identify a fraction that is equivalent to 4/6 ?

Here, the GCF of 4 and 6 is 2, so 4/6 is an equivalent fraction of 2/3 , and the latter is the simplest form of this ratio.

You would multiply either the numerator and denominator by a number, what that number is is up to you.

Example:

4/6x2

4x2=8

6x2=12

So 8/12 is equivalent to 4/6.
