Sometimes you are asked to complete a fraction in higher terms. Then you are<br />
given just part of a value.<br />
For example: Complete in higher terms.<br />
1. Ask what was done to the 4 to equal 16 It was multiplied by 4.<br />
2. Always do the same to both terms. If you multiply the denominator by 4,<br />
you must multiply the numerator by 4.<br />
3. Now multiply the 3 by 4 to get 12.<br />
4. Cross-multiply to see if this is an equivalent fraction. 3 x 16 = 48<br />
4 x 12 =48<br />
5. They are equivalent.<br />
