Question

Is 11/2 and 6/11 equivalent? Plz I need the help☹️

Answer 1

For this case we have the following fractions:

$\frac {11} {2}\\\frac {6} {11}$

We must rewrite the fractions, using the same denominator.

We have then:

We multiply the first fraction by 11 in the numerator and denominator:

$\frac {11} {2} \frac {11} {11}$

We multiply the second fraction by 2 in the numerator and denominator:

$\frac {6} {11} \frac {2} {2}$

Rewriting we have:

For the first fraction:

$\frac {121} {22}$

For the second fraction:

$\frac {12} {22}$

We note that:

$\frac {121} {22}> \frac {12} {22}$

Answer:

The fractions are not equivalent:

$\frac {11} {2}> \frac {6} {11}$
