Question

Madeline says she can use a clock to show that 5/60 and 1/12 are equivalent fractions do you think she's correct explain ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Madeline is correct. The fractions 5/60 and 1/12 are indeed equivalent fractions. To show this, you can simplify both fractions to a common reduced form.

First, let's simplify 5/60. Both the numerator and denominator share a common factor, which is 5. You can divide both the numerator and denominator by 5:

(5 ÷ 5) / (60 ÷ 5) = 1/12

As you can see, both 5/60 and 1/12 represent the same quantity. They have the same value because when you simplify 5/60, it reduces to 1/12. So, Madeline is correct in asserting that these two fractions are equivalent.
