and

I don't know about you, but I don't want to try to draw something with 800 pieces! Whew!

Let's take the fraction with the bigger numbers and reduce it:

Hey, they ARE the same!

In fact, we can find a bunch of fractions that are equivalent to these:

Can you find five fractions
that are equivalent to ?
(Remember, you can check your answers by reducing!)
