Question

Compare 1 out of 3 and 3 out of 10. Are these values equal? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

1/3=3/10?
make bottom numbesr same
multiply by 1
1/3 times 10/10=10/30
3/10 times 3/3=9/30
10/30=9/30
10=9
false

answer is no
another ceck is that if 2 fractions are equal, the first one multiplied by the inverse of the second one should simplify to one
1/3 =3/10?
if true, then
1/3 times 10/3=1
10/9=1
false

not equal

Answer 2

NO. This is because 1/3 and 3/10 are totally different. What you do is get an lcd and end up with times 10 for the first fraction and times 2 for the second fractions. 10/30 and 9/30 are different.
