What do you call different fractions that represent the same amount?

  1. Area

  2. Denominator

  3. Equivalent fractions

  4. Mixed number

The correct answer is: Equivalent fractions

The term that describes different fractions representing the same amount is called equivalent fractions. For example, the fractions 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent because they both represent the same value. This concept is essential in understanding how fractions can be manipulated without changing their overall value. In the context of the other options, area refers to the measurement of space within a shape and is not related to fractions. Denominator refers to the bottom part of a fraction, which indicates how many equal parts the whole is divided into, but does not indicate equivalence. A mixed number is a whole number combined with a fraction, which also does not relate to the concept of different fractions being equivalent.
