Jess is using a number line to find fractions that are equivalent to 2/6. Explain how Jess can use the number line to find and equivalent fraction with a denominator greater than 6

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Fraction = 2/6

To find fraction equivalent using number lines, first she needs to locate the original fraction on the number line.

Using a denominator greater than 6; a fraction she can consider is 4/12

Using 3/9 as a case study.

The next step is for her to divide the newly created divisions from step 1 into three equal spaces.

She continues dividing each of the space until she has 9 equal spaces

For this number line, there are now nine equal separations. Meaning that the denominator is now 9.

The middle line between 0 and 3 is the second small tick mark, so the numerator is 3. This means that 3/9 and 1/3 are equivalent fractions.
