A video store is having a sale where you can buy 2 new-release DVDs for $22 or you can buy 4 new-release DVDs for $40. Are these rates equivalent? Explain your reasoning.

Answer: These rates are not equivalent.

Explanation:

2/22 = 1/11

4/40 = 1/10

Hence, 1/11 and 1/10 are not equivalent because they do not have the same denominator.
