Question

17 over 10 =12 over 5

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a False equation

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the common denominator, expand the fraction by the other denominator.

         17x5/10x5 = 12x10/5x10

Multiply the numbers

         85/10x5 = 12x10/5x10 ------------->   85/50 = 12x10/5x10 -->

85/50= 120/5x10 ---> 85/50=120/50

WHen comparing fractions with like denominators, compare numerators

85/50= 120/50 ----> 85+120

The equality is false because the left and right side are different

Answer: False
