Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

You can always tell if fractions are equivalent by division.

Can 12 be divided by 4?

12 ÷ 4 = 3

So far, they are equivalent.

Can 21 be divided by 7?

21 ÷ 7 = 3

Therefore, this makes the fraction equivalent because 4 can go into 12 equally and 7 can go into 21 equally.
