Explanation:

We have the fractions
(1)/(4) and
(2)/(3).

To see if they are equivalent, let's find a common denominator to compare the fractions. The least common multiple of the denominators
3 and
4 is
12, so let's convert the fractions to have this denominator.


(1)/(4) = (3)/(12)


(2)/(3) = (8)/(12)

Now that they have common denominators, we can see that the fractions are not equivalent.
