Question

True or false: 4/8 and 10/16 are equivalent fractions?

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Multiply 8 by 2 to create the common denominator (which is 16).

Now multiply 4 by 2 to keep the fraction even.

This gives you the fraction 8/16 which is not equivalent to 10/16.

Another way you could write this inequality:

8/16 < 10/16
