About this worksheet
Find the missing number that makes two fractions equal — build the intuition that multiplying (or dividing) top and bottom by the same number keeps a fraction's value unchanged.
- Read a fraction as numerator over denominator.
- Basic multiplication and division facts.
With mastery, the student learns
- Recognize that multiplying numerator and denominator by the same number produces an equivalent fraction.
- Find the scale factor between two equivalent fractions and apply it to the missing slot.
- Work with the missing number in any position: left numerator, left denominator, right numerator, or right denominator.
