EXTENDED PRACTICE
EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS
1. Melissa baked lasagna for a family of 5. She cuts the lasagna into 15 equal pieces. How many pieces does
each person get? Show how you can use equivalent fractions to solve the problem.

2. Jordana and Tom bring two identical pies to a birthday. At the end of the party, Jordana’s pie has 76 left
24
and Tom’s pie has 28 left. Who takes home more pie?

3. At the end of a family celebration, parts of a few pies are leftover. 31 of Anna’s pie is left, 4
12
of Thom’s pie is
9
left, and 27 of Mo’s pie is left. Show that they all have the same amount of pie.

20
4. A recipe calls for 24 of a stick of butter. Do you need to cut the stick of butter into 24 pieces, or can you use
equivalent fractions to find an easier way to use the right amount?

5. Cheyenna has read 64 of a book, and Frieda has read 15

10
of the same book. Can you prove that they have
read the same amount?
