Question

TRUE OR FALSE: A fraction of something is always equal to a fraction of another something

Answer 1

Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{y}$ and $\frac{y}{x}$ are not equal.

If we assign numbers to both variables, for example x=1 and y = 2, we get:

$\frac{1}{2}$ $\neq$ $\frac{2}{1}$ . This shows that .5 is not equal to 2, therefore a fraction of something (x) is not always equal to a fraction of another something.
