Letβs take an example
Check whether 1/2 , 128/256 are equivalent .
Β
To check,
Β we make both fractions equal.
Β 1/2 = 128/256
And then cross multiply
1 Γ 256 = 128 Γ 2
Β Β Β Β Β 256 = 256
Since this is true
Β 1/2, 128/256 are equivalent
Β
Check whether 1/ 3 , 99 /2 97 are equivalent.
To check,
Β we make both fractions equal.
Β Β 1/3 = 99/297
And then cross multiply
1 Γ 297 = 99 Γ 3
Β Β Β Β Β 297 = 297
Β
Since this is true
Β
Β 1/2, 99/297 are equivalent
Β
Check whether 4 / 5 , 28 / 35 are equivalent.
To check,
Β we make both fractions equal.
Β 4/5 = 28/35
And then cross multiply
4 Γ 35 = 28 Γ 5
Β Β Β 140 = 140
Β
Since this is true.
Β
Β 4/5, 28/35 are equivalent.
