Answer: No.

Step-by-step explanation: The left side, -0.7 doesn't equal the right side, -0.8, so it is false.

To find equivalent fractions, multiply the the numerator and denominator by the same whole number.


-(7)/(10)*(2)/(2) =-(14)/(20)


-(7)/(10)*(3)/(3) =-(21)/(30)


-(7)/(10)*(4)/(4) =-(28)/(40)

And so on...


-(4)/(5)*(2)/(2) =-(8)/(10)


-(4)/(5)*(3)/(3) =-(12)/(18)


-(4)/(5)*(4)/(4) =-(16)/(20)

And so on...

If we keep doing this, they won't equal each other.

So no, they're not equivalent.
