The following equivalent fractions were made from Rename In Higher Terms:

| When the program starts, you will be asked to identify the
distance along a number line. After the distance is correctly identified, a second number
line will appear.You will notice that the arrow is the same distance along the second
number line as the first. Although there are more parts in the second number line,
there are more of the parts, making the two fractions equivalent. The denominator of the second number line will be given. You will only have to identify the numerator. There are two methods to identify the numerator: The first method wouldl be to count over the number of parts from 0. In the example above, the numerator of the second number line is 4. Another method would be to multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by the same number. In the example below, both the numerator and denominator are multiplied by 4. Written out, the example would look like this:
|
| The 4 is arrived at by asking "What times the denominator 3 equals 12?". Since the denominator is multiplied by 4 then the numerator must be multiplied by 4 to make an equivalent fraction. |
