Answer: If the numerators are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation: If both denominators are the same, for example, 1/4 and 3/4, the fraction with the greater number (in this case, 3/4) is greater. If both fractions have exactly the same numerator and denominator, then they are equivalent.

Answer: They need to have the same numerator to be equivalent

Example:

The fractions 1/7 and 2/7 are not equal because
1 \\e 2. So simply having the same denominator is not enough to have the fractions be the same overall.
