Answer:
Mason is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equivalent ratios are formed when the same number is MULTIPLIED to each number in the ratior, not when the same number is added. So for example, a ratio equivalent to 2:3 would be 4:6, because 2*2=4 and 3*2=6. You multiply to create equivalent ratios, not add.
(That would be your explanation)
I see two ways to do it.
First, you have to understand that when you see a 'complex fraction' like this, the top number is a numerator, and the two bottom numbers are both denominators.
Way-1:
Take the top fraction . . . 2/2 . That's equal to 1 . So the whole thing is <em>1/3</em>.
Way-2:
Multiply the bottom two denominators. Then the whole thing is 2/(2·3) . That's the same thing as 2/6 . Simplify that, and you have <em>1/3</em> .
