Answer:
The statement by Ed is TRUE.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given expression is:
[tex]( \frac{2}{3}) m=( \frac{1}{4} )[/tex]
Now, simplifying the given expression for the value of m, we get:
[tex](\frac{2}{3}) m=( \frac{1}{4} )\\\implies m = ( \frac{1}{4} ) \times (\frac{3}{2}) = (\frac{3}{8} )\\\implies m = (\frac{3}{8} )[/tex] ... (1)
Now, the answer given by Jim is [tex] m = 2\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}[/tex]
And answer stated by Ed is m = 3/8
Here, from(1) we can see that : m = 3/8
and also, m ≠ 8/3
Hence, The statement by Ed is TRUE.
