Question

Are the two fractions equivalent:

$\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{6}{9}$

Answer 1

Explanation:

Cross products of given fractions $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{6}{9}$ are

$\Rightarrow$$3\times 9$ $=$ $5\times 6$

$\Rightarrow$ $27$ $=$ $30$

If the two cross products are the same, then the fraction are equivalent

but here cross products are different

Therefore , two fractions $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{6}{9}$ are not equivalent
