Answer 2

Answer:

• ∴ The given two fractions $\frac{-14}{-20}$ and $\frac{7}{10}$ are equivalent fractions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The two fractions are $\frac{-14}{-20}$ and $\frac{7}{10}$.

To find : Check whether the given fractions are equivalent or not.

Solution :  

• The two given fractions are $\frac{-14}{-20}$ and $\frac{7}{10}$.  
• We have to check whether the given fractions are equivalent or not.
• Equivalent fractions are those fractions which have different values of numerator and denominator but equal in values.
• Now, the first fraction is,

      $\frac{-14}{-20} =\frac{7}{10}$     (∵ dividing by  and '-÷-=+')    (i)

• Other fraction is $\frac{7}{10}$.   (ii)
• ∴ From (i) and (ii), we get

          $\frac{-14}{-20} =\frac{7}{10}$  

• ∴ The given two fractions $\frac{-14}{-20}$ and $\frac{7}{10}$ are equivalent fractions.
