Question

Consider the following pattern involving fractions: 15/20=3/4, 15-3/20-4=12/16=3/4
18/15=6/5, 18-6/15-5=12/10=6/5
1.) Make a conjecture about the pattern. Show that the conjecture is true for another example.
2.) Explain how inductive reasoning can be used to support the conjecture.
3.) Find a counter example to the conjecture. What does the counter example tell about the conjecture?
OR
If a counter example cannot be found, describe what it would need to look like. What does not finding a counter example tell about the conjecture?
I need help with these questions. Thanks in advance.
