    After the party, there was still  3 4  of the cake left over. Mike wants people to take some cake home with them. If there are 9 people, how much of the cake will each person take with them?
    ::派对之后,还有34个蛋糕剩下了。迈克希望人们带一些蛋糕回家。如果有9个人,每人要带多少蛋糕?

    In this concept, you will learn to find an equivalent fraction.
    ::在这个概念中,你会学会找到一个相等的分数。

    Finding Equivalent Fractions
    ::查找等等价分数

    fraction  is a part of a whole. It describes the relationship between a part of something and the whole thing. A fraction has two numbers separated by a fraction bar. The top number is called the  numerator  and tells you how many parts there are out of the whole. The bottom number is the  denominator . It tells you how many parts the whole has been divided into.
    ::一个分数是整体的一部分。 它描述某物的一部分和整个物之间的关系。 一个分数用一个分数条分隔了两个数字。 最高数字称为分子, 并告诉你整体中有多少部分。 底数是分母。 它告诉了您整个体被分割成多少部分 。

    Here is a fraction.
    ::这里有一个分数。

    4 5

    There are 4 parts and the whole is divided into 5 parts. Fractions can also be represented as a picture.
    ::有4个部分,整个部分分为5个部分,也可以以图示表示。

    Here is a picture of a fraction.
    ::这是一小部分的图片。

    The whole has been divided into ten parts. This is our denominator. Five out of ten are shaded. This is our numerator.
    ::整部分分为十部分,这是我们的分母,十分之五是阴暗的,这是我们的分子。

    5 10

    The fraction for the parts that are not shaded would also be  5 10 . Notice that half of the image is shaded. Remember that a half is also written as the fraction  1 2 . Therefore,  5 10  is the same as  1 2 . When two fractions have the same value, the fractions are  equivalent fractions .
    ::未遮蔽部分的分数也将是 5 10 。 请注意, 图像的一半是遮蔽的。 记住, 一半也写成分数 1 2 。 因此, 5 10 和 12 相同。 当两个分数的值相同时, 分数是相等的分数 。

    The bars below visually represent equivalent fractions.
    ::下面的栏目表示相等的分数。

    lesson content

    The shaded part of each bar represents a fraction that is equivalent to one half.
    ::每个横条的阴暗部分代表一个分数,等于一半。

    1 2 = 2 4 = 3 6 = 4 8

    To find equivalent fractions, multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number. If the numerator and denominator have a common factor other than 1, you can also  divide  the numerator and denominator by a common factor.
    ::要找到相等的分数,请将分子和分母乘以相同数字。如果分子和分母有一个除1以外的共同系数,也可以将分子和分母除以一个共同系数。

    Here is a fraction.
    ::这里有一个分数。

    6 12

    Find two equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing.
    ::通过乘法或除法查找两个相等的分数。

    First, multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number. Let’s choose 2.
    ::首先,将分子和分母乘以相同数字。让我们选择 2。

    6 × 2 12 × 2 = 12 24

    The numbers 6 and 12 have common  factors .
    ::6号和12号有共同因素。

    6 1 _ , 2 _ , 3 _ , 6 _ 12 1 _ , 2 _ , 3 _ , 4 , 6 _ , 12

    Let’s try dividing to find a second equivalent fraction.
    ::让我们试着分割以找到第二个等值分数 。

    First, divide the numerator and denominator by a common factor. Let’s choose 3.
    ::首先,将分子和分母除以一个共同因素。让我们选择 3 。

    6 ÷ 3 12 ÷ 3 = 2 4

    Two equivalent fraction for  6 12  is  12 24  and  2 4 .
    ::6 12 2等量分数为 12 24 和 2 4 。

    6 12 = 12 24 = 2 4

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Mike and the cake.
    ::之前,你得到一个问题 关于迈克和蛋糕。

    Mike wants to evenly divide  3 4  of the cake between 9 people. Find an equivalent fraction of  3 4  where the numerator equals 9.
    ::Mike想在9人之间平均分配3 4个蛋糕。 找到相当于3 4的分数, 分子数等于9。

    Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.
    ::用相同数字乘以分子和分母。

    3 × 3 4 × 3 = 9 12

    If Mike divides the leftover cake evenly between 9 people, each person will take home  1 12  of the original cake.
    ::如果麦克把剩下的蛋糕平分在9个人之间, 每个人都会带回家 12个原来的蛋糕。
