Madeleine says she can use a clock to show that 5/60 and 1/12 are equivalent fractions. Do you think she is correct? Explain.

Sagot :

Yes, 5/60, 5 divided by 5=1. 60 divided by 5= 12. Leaving you with 1/12. Meaning that both fractions are equivalent
She is correct because when you do cross multiply you are able to see whether or not a fraction is equivalent.
