	Why are equivalent fractions equal? Part 2.		2016-11-22
		From Anandmay: Hi! I saw one of your answered questions:Why are equivalent fractions equal? The same question I had for why i searched and ended up entering this wonderful site. The answer was so much experimental based.I mean,for example,it was explained how 3/4 was equal to 6/8 by dividing a unit into 4 equal parts and taking four of the parts,and then dividing the same unit into 8 equal parts and then taking 6 of them.The result was that both the taken parts were equal. (That is,3 out of 4 equal parts were equal to 6 of the 8 equal parts.) But,this was very much non-generalized and experimental-based result(proof). And we all know that in mathematics,we confirm some particular thing for all the numbers iff we generalize it. So,can you explain more clearly 'HOW' the 3 parts of the 4 equal parts and the 6 of the 8 equal parts of the unit equal(that is the same)?I don't want experimental proof.I want clear proof,and thus please give a generalized proof for all fractions and their equivalents. Thanks! Answered by Penny Nom.
