Answer:


(8)/(6) = (20)/(15)

Explanation:

It appears that a is the missing value that needs to be solved. The equal sign means that the two values are equal to each other and the other not equal sign means that they don't equal each other.

Whenever dealing with two fractions that equal each other, you can use the fraction cross-product property, where you would multiply the numerator with the denominator and vice versa.


(8)/(a) = (20)/(15) \\\\8 * 15 = 20 * a\\\\120 = 20a\\\\a = 6

So, the fraction would be


(8)/(6) = (20)/(15)
