This activity is about finding equivalent fractions.
This diagram shows 3/5 of the rectangle shaded blue. When it is split horizontally, each small piece is now 1/15 of the rectangle, so 3/5 = 9/15.
Both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the original fraction have been multiplied by the number 3.
We can form equivalent fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator of any fraction by the same number.
