Question

Is the product of 3/6×5/4 equal to the product of 3/4×5/6? Explain howyou known.

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the numerators/ denominators of the 2 products and compare their values

$\frac{3}{6}$ × $\frac{5}{4}$ = $\frac{3(5)}{6(4)}$ = $\frac{15}{24}$

$\frac{3}{4}$ × $\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{3(5)}{4(6)}$ = $\frac{15}{24}$

Both products have the same value, that is

$\frac{15}{24}$ = $\frac{5}{8}$ ← in simplest form

Answer 2

Changing the order of the denominator doesn’t change the product. 4•6=24 and 6•4=24 again.
