I can determine they are equivalent by multiplying
Veronika [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Fractions are equivalent if you can multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same factor to equal the other fraction.  In this case 1/3 is equivalent to 4/12 because you can multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 4 to get 4/12.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Setting up equivalent fractions is similar to proportions, we set the fractions equal to each other and look to see whether they have a factor in common that can be multiplied or divided by both the numerator (top number) or denominator (bottom number) to get the other fraction.  For example: multiplying 1 x 4 = 4 and multiplying 3 x 4 = 12.  So, 1/3 is the same as 4/12.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a) What is the amount off the original price?

= $8.4

b) What is the new price for the pair of shoes?

= $33.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What is the amount off the original price?

We are told that:

The sale price is 20% off the original price.

Original price = $42

$42 × 20/100

= $8.4

b) What is the new price for the pair of shoes?

The new price =

0riginal price - Amount off the original price

= $42 - $8.4

= $33.6

The original price = $33.6
