Consider the following figure, do they have identical fractions of the shape?

Explanation

The first shape is divided into 10 equal parts.  Since 6 of those parts are red, \(\frac{6}{10}\) of the figure is shaded.

The second figure is divided into 5 equal parts.  Since 3 of those parts are red, \(\frac35\) of the figure is shaded.  We can conclude that \(\frac{6}{10}=\frac35\) because \(\frac{6}{10}\) and \(\frac35\) represent the same shaded portion of the figure.  We say that \(\frac{6}{10}\) and \(\frac35\) are equivalent fractions.
