Are one fourth and two thirds equivalent fractions?

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the fractions and .

To see if they are equivalent, let's find a common denominator to compare the fractions. The least common multiple of the denominators and is , so let's convert the fractions to have this denominator.

Now that they have common denominators, we can see that the fractions are not equivalent.

4.6875 pounds

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
