Well, the fraction 3/5 is in its simplest form, however, 12/15 is not. The fraction can be further simplified.

First, find out what the largest number that can fit into both the denominator (15) and numerator (12) perfectly. This number would be 3.

Next, divide 3 by 12 (which equals 4) and 3 by 15 (which equals 5). This gives you 4/5. The simplest form of the fraction 12/15.

4/5 is larger than 3/5, therefore the answer would be that they are not equivalent.

The fractions, 3/5 and 12/15 are not equivalent because they are not of the same value and are not equal.

Recall:

  • Fractions that are equivalent are equal regardless of their numerators and denominators.

Thus, given the fractions, 3/5 and 12/15,

  • 12/15 does not equal 3/5

This is why:

12/15 when reduced further will give us: 4/5 if we divide both the denominator and numerator by 3.

Thus:

  • 4/5 is not equal to 3/5

Therefore, the fractions, 3/5 and 12/15 are not equivalent because they are not of the same value and are not equal.
