Question

Is 8/12 equivalent to 8/20

Answer 1

They aren’t equivalent, since 8/12 simplified is 2/3, while 8/20 simplified is 2/5

Answer 2

No, it does not

Explanation:

8/12 equals 0.66

think about it like 8 cubes filled in an ice-cubes maker out of 12 cubes in total. The maker is about to be filled.

8/20 equals 0.4

think about this like 8 cubes filled in an ice-cubes maker out of 20! cubes in total. That's a small number compared to the total number of cubes that could have been filled.
