Not Equivalent pairs

Answer 1

See explanation

EXPLANATION

If we can simplify the first fraction to obtain the second fraction, then the two fractions are equivalent pairs

EQUIVALENT PAIRS

`(32)/(4) \: and \: (8)/(1)`

`(36)/(6) \: and \: (6)/(1)`

`(35)/(7) \: and \: (5)/(1)`

NOT EQUIVALENT PAIRS

`(18)/(3) \: and \: (9)/(1)`

`(20)/(5) \: and \: (3)/(1)`

`(100)/(10) \: and \: (5)/(1)`

Answer 2

Equivalent pairs

32/4 and 8/1

36/6 and 6/1

35/7 and 5/1

Not Equivalent pairs

18/3 and 9/1

20/5 and 3/1

100/10 and 5/1

Explanation:

Equivalent pairs: Those pairs that are different fractions but represent the same number.

1. 18/3 and 9/1

18/3 can be simplified into 6/1

so, 18/3 and 9/1 are not equivalent pairs

2. 32/4 and 8/1

32/4 can be simplified into 8/1

so, 32/4 and 8/1 are equivalent pairs

3. 36/6 and 6/1

36/6 can be simplified into 6/1

so, 36/6 and 6/1 are equivalent pairs

4. 20/5 and 3/1

20/5 can be simplified into 4/1

so, 20/5 and 3/1 are not equivalent pairs

5. 35/7 and 5/1

35/7 can be simplified into 5/1

so, 35/7 and 5/1 are equivalent pairs

6. 100/10 and 5/1

100/10 can be simplified into 10/1

so, 100/10 and 5/1 are not equivalent pairs
