<h3>Answer: Choice B) 1/8 and 1/4 are not equivalent</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

There are two ways to check to see if two fractions are equal.

---------

Method 1) Cross multiplication

3/6 = 2/4

3*4 = 6*2

12 = 12

The last equation is true, so the first equation is true. This shows 3/6 and 2/4 are the same fraction

1/8 = 1/4

1*4 = 8*1

4 = 8

The last equation is false, so 1/8 = 1/4 is false. We found our answer.

1/3 = 2/6

1*6 = 3*2

6 = 6

This equation is true. So we can move on

1/4 = 3/12

1*12 = 4*3

12 = 12

A similar story happens with A and C.

---------

Method 2) Comparing decimal forms

Using a calculator, we can find the decimal form of any fraction

3/6 = 0.5 and 2/4 = 0.5; since we get the same decimal value both times, this means 3/6 = 2/4 is a true statement. Choice A is ruled out.

1/8 = 0.125 and 1/4 = 0.25; we get different decimal values, so we can see that choice B is the answer

1/3 = 0.333.... (the 3s go on forever) and 2/6 = 0.333... we have the same story as choice A, so we can rule out choice C.

1/4 = 0.25 and 3/12 = 0.25, same story as A and C. We can rule out choice D.

You randomly choose one of the tiles. Without replacing the first tile, you choose a second tile. What is the probability of the
hjlf

Answer:

P odd number, then 20) = 1 /14

Step-by-step explanation:

P( odd number) =  number of odd numbers/ total

number of odd numbers = 3

total = 7

P( odd number)   = 3/7

We keep the tile so that there are only 6 tiles left

P (20) = number of 20/ total

          = 1/6

We multiply the probabilities together

P odd number, then 20) = 3/7 * 1/6 = 3/42 = 1 /14
