That is, = , so and are equivalent fractions.
3 12 3 12

Now create your own fractional wall and understand the concept of equivalent fractions.

Take 4 square sheets of any dimensions and divide them as shown in the figures below.

Since the size of each square is the same, dividing it into 3, 6, 9 and 12 parts does not

change its value. Now, colour 1, 2, 3 and 4 parts, respectively and write the fractional
value of each.

1 2 3 4
3 6 9 12

Here, the shaded portions are equal, so they represent equivalent fractions.
1 = 12 = 13 = 14 . Hence, = 2 = 3 = 4 are equivalent fractions.
