Question

Which statement is not true about the pattern shown?

2/3 4/6 8/12 16/24
A-Each fraction is greater than the previous fraction.
B-Each fraction is equal to the previous fraction in the pattern multiplied by
C-Each fraction is equivalent to 2/3
D-The next fraction in the pattern is 32/48

Answer 1

The answer is A-Each fraction is greater than the previous fraction.

Explanation:

To prove that A is wrong, first simply all fractions.

2/3 is already simplified.

4/6 can reduce to 2/3, which already proves that A is wrong.

So, because 2/3 and 4/6 are equal fractions, and A says that each fraction is greater than the previous one, A is wrong.
