TRUE OR FALSE: A fraction of something is always equal to a fraction of another something

Sagot :

Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] are not equal.

If we assign numbers to both variables, for example x=1 and y = 2, we get:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] [tex]\neq[/tex] [tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex] . This shows that .5 is not equal to 2, therefore a fraction of something (x) is not always equal to a fraction of another something.
