How do u tell if a problem is a true sentence in algebra? is 15/18 and 10/12 equal or not equal true sentence?

Question

It says use equal sign or not equal sign to write a true sentence for

15/18 and 10/12

Answer 1

10/4 = 5/2, if they are equal

10/5 ≠ 5/3, if they are not equal

Answer 2

15/18 = 10/12

(15/3)/(18/3) = (10/2)/(12/2)

5/6 = 5/6

Answer: Yes! 15/18 = 10/12

Answer 3

Here's an example.

3 = 3

is a true sentence.

3 = 5

is NOT a true sentence.

"3 not equal 5"

is a true sentence.

So, in your case....

15 / 18 = (3 x 5) / (3 x 6) = 5/6

10 / 12 = (2 x 5) / (2 x 6) = 5/6

So, since these two fractions ARE equal, then the true sentence would be

15/18 = 10/12

Answer 4

Let's find a common denominator.  18 * 2 is 36, and 12 * 3 is 36, so that's a good one.

15/18 = 30 / 36

10/12 = 30 / 36

So 10/12 = 15/18, and the sentence is true.

Answer 5

15/18 simplifies to 5/6

10/12 simplifies to 5/6

therefore 15/18 = 10/12

Answer 6

15/18 = 10/12 ?

simplifying

5/6 = 5/6 ?

they are equal

5/9 = 5/6

.

Answer 7

change the fractions so they have a common denominator:

15/18= 5/6

10/12=5/6

so they are equal

Answer 8

yes they are equal, the both share the lowest common denominator of 5/6
