Thanks so much.
To determine if two fractions are equal, you can simplify both fractions to their simplest form. In this case, let's simplify 4/6 and 6/8.
To simplify 4/6:
1. Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (4) and denominator (6).
2. The GCD of 4 and 6 is 2.
3. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
4 ÷ 2 = 2
6 ÷ 2 = 3
4. The simplified form of 4/6 is 2/3.
To simplify 6/8:
1. Find the GCD of the numerator (6) and denominator (8).
2. The GCD of 6 and 8 is 2.
3. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
6 ÷ 2 = 3
8 ÷ 2 = 4
4. The simplified form of 6/8 is 3/4.
Since the simplified forms of 4/6 and 6/8 are not the same (2/3 ≠ 3/4), we can conclude that 4/6 is not equal to 6/8. Therefore, your answer is correct.
