Answer:

Non equivalent

Explanation:

The equivalent between sets is determined by the number of elements. If two sets have the same number of elements, then they are equivalent sets.

In this case, a year has 12 months, and the US has 50 states. So, one month is not equal to 1 state because they have different natures and they represent a different proportion. A month represents 1/12 of a year and a state represents 1/50 of the total number of states.
