Question:
Saleem wants to create a table of ratios that are equivalent to 2/3. he includes the ratios 4/5 and 5/6. are these ratios equivalent to 2/3? explain ur reasoning
answer:
In order to determine if the given fractions are equivalent to 2/3, it is necessary to simplify each fraction, and if the result is the same, the fraction is equivalent.
Proceed as follow:
4/5 it is not possible to simplify this fraction
5/6 it is not possible ti smiplfy this fraction
As you can notice, it is not possible to simplify the given fractions in such a way you can obtain from them the fraction 2/3.
Hence, the given fractions are not equivalent to 2/3.
