Two fractions are equivalent if the following products are the same:

Then, if the given fractions are equivalent, then 27*4 should be the same as 8*9:


\begin{gathered} 27*4=108 \\ \\ 8*9=72 \end{gathered}

Since the products are not the same, then, the equation is false.

Therefore, the answer is: FALSE.
