Are the fractions equivalent? If so,what number were both the numerator and denominator multiplied by to arrive at the equivalent fraction?(4 points) 13=512 No 25=410 512=1536 211=844

1 answer

To determine if the fractions are equivalent, we need to simplify the fractions and see if they result in the same value.

  1. For the first pair:
    \(\frac{13}{25}\) and \(\frac{512}{410}\)
    To check if these fractions are equivalent, we can cross-multiply:
    \(13 \times 410 = 5330\)
    \(25 \times 512 = 12800\)
    Since \(5330 \neq 12800\), \(\frac{13}{25} \neq \frac{512}{410}\).

  2. For the second pair:
    \(\frac{512}{410}\) and \(\frac{1536}{211}\)
    Cross-multiply:
    \(512 \times 211 = 108832\)
    \(410 \times 1536 = 629760\)
    Since \(108832 \neq 629760\), \(\frac{512}{410} \neq \frac{1536}{211}\).

  3. For the third pair:
    \(\frac{211}{844}\)
    We can simplify \(\frac{211}{844}\):
    Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 211 and 844, which is 211.
    So, \(\frac{211 \div 211}{844 \div 211} = \frac{1}{4}\).

Now, we will check if that simplifies to one of the other valid fractions.

Also, check \(\frac{512}{410}\): 512 and 410 do not share a common factor easily, thus staying as is for now.

To conclude: It appears that none of the fractions are equivalent.

Final Answer: No, the fractions are not equivalent.
