Answer: Yes, they are equal

Explanation:

Quick statement: To find equivalent fractions, multiply or divide them by the same number.

In this particular example, you can divide 182 by 7 and get 26 and 21 by 7 to get 3. This symbols that they are equal. If you try the inverse operation (multiplication), you could multiply 26 by 7 and get 182. Same goes for 21 and 3: you multiply 3 by 7 to get 21. Just remember to multiply or divide the two numbers (numerator and denominator) by the same number to get an equivalent fraction.
