Two fractions are said to be equivalent if both the numerator and the numerator of one fraction can be obtained by multiplying or dividing the numerat.or and denominator of the other fraction by a single factor.
Dividing the numerator and denominator of 240/300 by 5 gives 48/60
Dividing the numerator and denominator of 240/300 by 60 gives 4/5
Dividing the numerator and denominator of 240/300 by 10 gives 24/30
Whereas dividing 300 by 2 gives 150 dividing 240 by 2 will not give 122. so 122/150 is not equivalent to 240/300.
Step-by-step explanation:
What you can do is start with the key details in it... the main ones are that the bacteria grows every 30 minutes, you start with 1 bacteria, and the end time is 180 minutes. Basically you know that 3 goes into 18 6 times so 30 goes into 180 6 times which means that if you started with 1 bacteria you will end up with 7. Understand?
Here, both numbers are divisible by 7 so that brings you to 9:4
