Use the same non-zero number for both terms; start with 2.
6 × 2 = 12 and 4 × 2 = 8.
6 × 8 and 4 × 12 both equal 48.
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero whole number. The written numbers change, but the ratio stays equal.
| Multiplier | Calculation | Equivalent fraction | Cross-product check |
|---|---|---|---|
| × 2 | (6 × 2) / (4 × 2) | 12/8 | 6 × 8 = 4 × 12 |
| × 3 | (6 × 3) / (4 × 3) | 18/12 | 6 × 12 = 4 × 18 |
| × 4 | (6 × 4) / (4 × 4) | 24/16 | 6 × 16 = 4 × 24 |
| × 5 | (6 × 5) / (4 × 5) | 30/20 | 6 × 20 = 4 × 30 |
| × 6 | (6 × 6) / (4 × 6) | 36/24 | 6 × 24 = 4 × 36 |
| × 7 | (6 × 7) / (4 × 7) | 42/28 | 6 × 28 = 4 × 42 |
This value is greater than one whole, so it is useful for rates, recipe scaling, and measurements that exceed one unit.
Learning tip: Convert an improper fraction to a mixed number when a real-world measurement is easier to read that way.
