Answer:

No, they are not equivalent fractions.

Explanation:

Simplify 42/70.

42/70

Divide by 7.

42/70 = 6/10

Now, divide by 2.

6/10 = 3/5.

7/12 cannot be further simplified as the numerator & denominator have no common factor between them.

3/5 is not equivalent to 7/12.

3/5 = 0.6

7/12 = 0.58

Hence, they are not equivalent fractions.
