Question 177964
75/86 versus 15/16

if they are equal then when we cross multiply we should get equal terms
:
{{{75/86=15/16}}}
:
86(15)=75(16)
:
1290=1200
:
NOPE,close but no cigar these are not equal fractions.
:
if you have equal fractions such as 5/10 and 1/2
:
{{{1/2=5/10}}}
:
2(5)=1(10)
:
10=10
