Answer 2

For this case, they ask us to determine which of the improper fractions (Numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator) given is not equivalent to "3".

Option A:

`\frac {21} {7} = 3`

Three times the number "7" gives "21".

Option B:

`\frac {21} {9} = \frac {7} {3}`

Note that if we divide the numerator and denominator by "3" we get the fraction \ frac {7} {3} other than the integer "3".

Option C:

`\frac {3} {1} = 3`

Option D:

`\frac {27} {9} = 3`

Three times the number "9" gives "27"

Thus, the fraction that is not equivalent to "3" is:
`\frac {21} {9}`

Answer:

Option B
