First off, if you divide $960/$8, you will get 120 “sets” of payment. Multiply this value by the amount of money Jenny is responsible for paying and the amount her parents are responsible for paying to find their total contributions.
a. Jenny will have to pay $600
b. Jenny’s parents will contribute $360 to her new laptop.
For this, you have to reduce the larger fraction, which is 12/15
After reduction, it would be: 4/5 which is not equivalent to 3/4
4/5 ≠ 3/4
So, your final answer is "NO", it's not equivalent
Hope this helps!

- [Frac] Divide/Simplify:
When we divide (x + 2), we would have a <em>removable</em> <em>discontinuity</em>. If we were to graph the original function, we would see at x = -2 there would be a hole in the graph.
We know that 80% of the stamps are US and Mexican.
The US stamps are 3 times the Mexican stamps. That means that of the 80%, Mexicans comprised of the 20% and US comprised of the 60% to satisfy the relationship of their ratios.
Therefore, 60% of Michelle's collection is made up of US stamps.
