Question

Are the fractions equal? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Well I would say yes because when you cut the larger fraction in half the numbers came up with are 2/4 and so with that mentioned the fractions are equivalent. I hoped that this helped. :)

Answer 2

Yes because you can simplify 4/8 to 2/4 by dividing both denominator and numerator by 2 :

4÷2=2
8÷2=4

hope this helps
