Question

Is 11/2 and 6/11 equivalent? Plz I need the help☹️

Answer 1

For this case we have the following fractions:

`\frac {11} {2}\\\frac {6} {11}`

We must rewrite the fractions, using the same denominator.

We have then:

We multiply the first fraction by 11 in the numerator and denominator:

`\frac {11} {2} \frac {11} {11}`

We multiply the second fraction by 2 in the numerator and denominator:

`\frac {6} {11} \frac {2} {2}`

Rewriting we have:

For the first fraction:

`\frac {121} {22}`

For the second fraction:

`\frac {12} {22}`

We note that:

`\frac {121} {22}> \frac {12} {22}`

Answer:

The fractions are not equivalent:

`\frac {11} {2}> \frac {6} {11}`
