Question

Are the fraction 1/5,5/5, and 5/1 equivalent? Explain

Answer 1

Hence,

`(1)/(5),(5)/(5),(5)/(1)`

are Not equivalent.

`(1)/(5)=0.2`

`(5)/(5)=1`

`(5)/(1)=5`

Explanation:

To Check:

Fractions,

`(1)/(5)`

`(5)/(5)`

`(5)/(1)` are equivalent or Not ?

Solution:

For The First one,

`(1)/(5)= 0.2` ....... ( 1 )

For The Second one,

`(5)/(5)= 1` ....... ( 2 )

For The Third one,

`(5)/(1)= 5` ....... ( 3 )

So from ( 1) , ( 2 ) ,and ( 3 ) All having Different Values,

Hence,

`(1)/(5),(5)/(5),(5)/(1)`

are Not equivalent.
