Determine whether the fractions 3 4 and 4 5 are equivalent. Question content area bottom Part 1 Select the correct choice below

VMariaS [17]

Answer: Choice A

The fractions are not equivalent because the product of the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction is <u> 15 </u> , which is not equal to the product of the numerator of the second fraction and the denominator of the first fraction <u> 16 </u>

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

Explanation:

We have the template $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{R}{S}$ which cross multiplies to $PS = QR$

So if $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{5}$ was true, then $3*5 = 4*4$ must be true as well, and vice versa.

The left side 3*5 turns into 15, while the right hand side 4*4 becomes 16. The 15 and 16 don't match up.

In short, $3*5 = 4*4$ turns into $15 = 16$ which is a false statement. So the original claim that $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{5}$ is also false.
