What is the rule for creating an equivalent fraction from $\frac{a}{b}$ using a nonzero integer $k$?
What is the rule for creating an equivalent fraction from $\frac{a}{b}$ using a nonzero integer $k$?
Tap to reveal answer
Multiply: $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{a\cdot k}{b\cdot k}$ for $k\neq 0$. Multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero integer $k$ preserves the value of the fraction, creating an equivalent one.

Find and correct the error: Is $\frac{6}{10}$ simplified to $\frac{3}{10}$ correct?
Tap to reveal answer
Incorrect; $\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{5}$. The simplification is wrong because dividing only the numerator by 2 ignores the denominator, but both must be divided by 2 for equivalence.
