These fractions are not equal. An easy way to solve this is by finding the decimal value of the 2 fractions and comparing them. To find the decimal value of a fraction, you simply divide the numerator by the denominator.

Using the math above, we can see that 1.143≠1.067, meaning that these 2 fractions are not equal.
