Find answers to the following. Write and indicate how you solve
Is $$\dfrac {9}{16}$$ equal to $$\dfrac {5}{9}$$?
$$\dfrac{9}{16}, \dfrac{5}{9}$$
$$= \dfrac{(9 \times 9)}{(144)}$$, $$\dfrac{(5 \times 16}{(144)}$$ $$ {LCM(16, 9) = 144}$$
$$ = \dfrac{81}{144}, \dfrac{80}{144}$$
Since, $$\dfrac{81}{144} ≠ \dfrac{80}{144}$$
So, $$\dfrac{9}{16} ≠ \dfrac{5}{9}$$
