Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, and see below for sentences.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, they do have the same value. If you create equivalent fractions for each of them with a common denominator, you can compare the numerators to each other.

12/15 is equal to 24/30 when you multiply numerator and denominator by 2, and 8/10 is equal to 24/30 when you multiply numerator and denominator by 3.
