$We\ can\ check\ it\ making\ the\ same\ denominator\ for\ both\ fractions:\\\\ (16)/(14)=(960)/(840)\\\\ (64)/(60)=(896)/(840)\\\\ (960)/(840) \\eq (896)/(840)\\\\They\ are\ not\ equivalent.$

16/14 = 8/7

-------------------------

64/60 = 32/30 = 16/15

-----------------------------

The answer is no.

8/7≈1.14

16/15≈1.07
