Which fraction is NOT equivalent to 8\/12 ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A) 2\/3 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

B) 24\/36 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

C) 4\/6 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

D) 6\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fraction that is NOT equivalent to 8\/12 is D) 6\/10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To determine which fraction is equivalent to 8\/12, we first need to simplify 8\/12 by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 8 and 12. The GCD of 8 and 12 is 4. By dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 4, we get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 \u00f7 4 = 2
12 \u00f7 4 = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, 8\/12 simplifies to 2\/3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s check the other fractions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A) 2\/3<\/strong>: This fraction is already in its simplest form and matches the simplified version of 8\/12 (i.e., 2\/3). Therefore, it is equivalent to 8\/12.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. B) 24\/36<\/strong>: To check if this fraction is equivalent to 8\/12, we simplify 24\/36. The GCD of 24 and 36 is 12. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 12:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    24 \u00f7 12 = 2
    36 \u00f7 12 = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, 24\/36 simplifies to 2\/3, which is equivalent to 8\/12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. C) 4\/6<\/strong>: To simplify 4\/6, we find the GCD of 4 and 6, which is 2. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      4 \u00f7 2 = 2
      6 \u00f7 2 = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Thus, 4\/6 simplifies to 2\/3, which is equivalent to 8\/12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. D) 6\/10<\/strong>: To check if this fraction is equivalent to 8\/12, we simplify 6\/10. The GCD of 6 and 10 is 2. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        6 \u00f7 2 = 3
        10 \u00f7 2 = 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        So, 6\/10 simplifies to 3\/5, which is not equivalent<\/strong> to 2\/3 (the simplified form of 8\/12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Thus, the fraction 6\/10<\/strong> is not equivalent to 8\/12, and the correct answer is D<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
