Frankie was thinking about her mother cutting up the
lasagna when she noticed a very useful connection.
She recognized that any fraction in which the
numerator and denominator are the same is equivalent
to 1. In addition, multiplying a number by 1 leaves that
number unchanged.
"WOW," she said, “I can use this idea to find a whole
bunch of equivalent fractions!” She showed her team
the work below. “Look!" she said, “It's the same as
using a GIANT ONE!”
