Question

TRUE OR FALSE: A fraction of something is always equal to a fraction of another something

Answer 1

FALSE

Explanation:

`(x)/(y)` and
`(y)/(x)` are not equal.

If we assign numbers to both variables, for example x=1 and y = 2, we get:

`(1)/(2)`
`\\eq`
`(2)/(1)` . This shows that .5 is not equal to 2, therefore a fraction of something (x) is not always equal to a fraction of another something.
