(80)/(100)
the least common multiple of both is 20

(80/20)/(100/20)


(4)/(5)
No they are not equivalent.

You can tell right away that it's not, just by looking at them,
without doing any arithmetic.

-- 6/5 is more than ' 1 ', because the top is more than the bottom.

-- 80/100 is less than ' 1 ', because the top is less than the bottom.

So they can't be equivalent.
