In this procedure, the denominators' LCMs are calculated and multiplied by a number to make the denominator identical to the LCM.

Decimal Form:

In this method, we simply determine the decimal form of both the fractions.

Cross Multiplication Method:

In this method, we cross multiply the fractions to verify whether they are equivalent.

Visual Method:

In this method, we represent the fractions in pictorial identical shapes and check if the shaded portions are equivalent.

Equivalent fractions charts serve as a handy reference for calculations and are easier to understand.
