Answer 2

$\frac{12}{24}$ is the rational number that is not equivalent to $\frac{3}{5}$. (Option D)

• We can figure out the answer to the question by simplifying the options as follows;

1. $\frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5}$ : Option A's numerator and denominator are divisible by 2.
2. $\frac{-3}{-5} = \frac{3}{5}$ : In option B, we can easily conclude that it is equivalent to $\frac{3}{5}$ ,both the numerator and the denominator having a negative sign which gets canceled to become positive.
3. $\frac{9}{15} = \frac{3}{5}$ : In option C, the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 3. The simplest form, thus obtained is $\frac{3}{5}$.
4. $\frac{12}{24} = \frac{1}{2}$ : In option D, the numerator and denominator are divisible by 12. Thus, $\frac{12}{24}$ is the rational number that is not equivalent to $\frac{3}{5}$.
