1. Which shows a number that is not equivalent to 23}} 8? 햠 3}} 28햡 8}} 23햢 20.375 햣 2 3}

Answer 1

To determine which number is not equivalent to \( \frac{23}{8} \), we can convert \( \frac{23}{8} \) into decimal form.

Calculating \( \frac{23}{8} \):

\[
\frac{23}{8} = 2.875
\]

Now let's check the other expressions:

1. **\( \frac{3}{28} \)**:
\[
\frac{3}{28} \approx 0.1071 \quad \text{(not equivalent to } 2.875\text{)}
\]

2. **\( \frac{8}{23} \)**:
\[
\frac{8}{23} \approx 0.3478 \quad \text{(not equivalent to } 2.875\text{)}
\]

3. **\( 20.375 \)**:
\[
20.375 \quad \text{(not equivalent to } 2.875\text{)}
\]

4. **\( 2.375 \)**:
\[
2.375 \quad \text{(not equivalent to } 2.875\text{)}
\]

Based on these evaluations, the fractions and decimal that are not equivalent to \( \frac{23}{8} \) are:

- \( \frac{3}{28} \)
- \( \frac{8}{23} \)
- \( 20.375 \)
- \( 2.375 \)

However, the expression explicitly asking which "shows a number that is **not equivalent**" can vary in interpretation. Based on all evaluations, **all listed options are indeed not equivalent to \( \frac{23}{8} \)**.

If we consider decimal approximation, **the highest deviation from \( 2.875 \)** is \( 20.375 \), which is the clearest outlier among typical fractions. Thus, all lead to the impression that they are **not representing \( \frac{23}{8} \)**; however, it’s clear \( 20.375 \) is the most significant point of divergence.
