Question

Are one fourth and two thirds equivalent fractions?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No they are not equivalent
