D. 2/3 and 1/3Explanation
The fractions 2/3 and 1/3 are equivalent because they have the same numerator (2) and different denominators (3 and 1). When the denominators are different, we can find equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number. In this case, we can divide both 2/3 and 1/3 by 1 to get the equivalent fractions 2/3 and 1/3.Rate this question:

- A.
10/3
- B.
10/8
- C.

1
Correct Answer
D. 1Explanation
When dividing fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In this case, we have (5/2) ÷ (3/4), which is the same as (5/2) * (4/3). Multiplying the numerators (5 * 4) gives us 20, and multiplying the denominators (2 * 3) gives us 6. Therefore, the result is 20/6, which simplifies to 10/3. However, the given answer is 1, which is incorrect.Rate this question:
