Question

The simplest forms of two equivalent fractions will be equal.

• A. same / equal
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A same / equal

If there are two equivalent fractions, then their simplest forms are equal.

For example, consider $\frac{45}{60}$ and $\frac{15}{20}$. These are equivalent fractions.

Note that $\frac{45}{60}$ = $\frac{45÷15}{60÷15}$ =$\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{15}{20}$ = $\frac{15÷5}{20÷5}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$.

We see that the simplest form of both the fractions is the same and it is $\frac{3}{4}$.
