6 steps: (1) 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8 - these are ALL the same! (2) The rule: multiply BOTH top and bottom by the same number. 1/2 × 2/2 = 2/4. (3) 1/3 × 3/3 = 3/9. Show visual: cutting each third into 3 more pieces gives 9 total, 3 shaded = 3/9. (4) To simplify: DIVIDE both top and bottom by the same
