Question

Which fraction that is not equivalent to the other fractions.

Answer 1

Simplify each fraction as follows:

`\begin{gathered} (4)/(12)=(4*1)/(4*3)=(1)/(3) \\ (2)/(5)=(2)/(5) \\ (3)/(9)=(3*1)/(3*3)=(1)/(3) \\ (1)/(3)=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

As seen above, the three fractions 4/12,3/9 and 1/3 are equivalent.

The fraction 2/5 is not equivalent to the other three.

Hence 2/5 does not belong and is not equivalent to the other three given fractions.
