Question

Is 3/16 equivalent to 3/8? How do you know?

Answer 1

Answer: 3/16 is not equivalent to 3/8

Step-by-step explanation: 3/16 would be like eating 3 pieces of a pie that has 16 pieces whilst 3/8 would be like eating 3 pieces of a pie that has 8 pieces. They are mildly similar but 3/16 is twice as small as 3/8 and henceforth not equivalent.

Answer 2

Answer: 3/16 is not equivalent to 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert to decimal, and use your calculator

3/16 = 0.188, divide 3 by 16

3/8 = 0.375, divide 3 by 8

It is not equivalent, as 0 188 is not equal to 0 375, i hope this helps.
