Answer:

No

Explanation:

Because if you divide the numerator by something you have to do the same for the denominator. This means the if you do 8÷2 to get 4 then you do 20÷2 you get. 8/20=4/10/2/5

Answer: no

Explanation:

8 and 20 can both be divided by 4

8 divided by 4 = 2

and 20 divided by 4 = 5

based on this, we can tell that 8/20 is not equivalent to 4/ but rather 2/5

I hope that helps
