Yes they are equivalent. This is because if you simplify each fraction : 288/12 and 240/10 they both equal 24.

Explanation: Division property of equality is dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number does not change the equation.
a÷c=b÷c for c≠0
<u><em>First, you divide by 3 both sides of an equation.</em></u>
<u><em>3y/3=24/3</em></u>
<u><em>Then, simplify.</em></u>
<u><em>24/3=8</em></u>
<u><em>8*3=24</em></u>
<u><em>24/8=3</em></u>
<u><em>y=8 is the final answer.</em></u>
<u><em>Hope this helps!</em></u>
<u><em>Thanks!</em></u>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
I assume that you need simplification of the given expression.
The given expression is:

Using distributive property and multiplying 2 inside the parenthesis and 1 inside the other parenthesis. This gives,

Therefore,
is equal to:

Now, combining like terms using the commutative property of addition, we get:

Therefore, the simplified form is 
8 in the 10,000s place is worth 80,000.
8 in the hundreds place is worth 800.
80,000/800 = 100
Answer: 100 times.
