On Cross-multiplying, 4/5 and 12/15
we get,
4 x 15 = 60
and
12 x 5 = 60
Since, the products are same
Hence, 4/5 and 12/15 are Equivalent Fractions.
Question 2
Check whether 3/4 and 9/16 are Equivalent Fractions ?
Explanation
On Cross-multiplying, 3/4 and 9/16
We get,
3 x 16 = 48
and
9 x 4 = 36
Since, the products are not same
Hence, 3/4 and 9/16 are not Equivalent Fractions.
Question 3
Check whether 4/3 and 8/9 are Equivalent Fractions ?
Explanation
Cross multiplying 4/3 and 8/9
We get,
4 x 9 = 36
and
8 x 3 = 24
Since, the products are not same
Hence, 4/3 and 8/9 are not Equivalent Fractions.
Question 4
Check whether 5/9 and 10/16 are Equivalent Fractions ?
Explanation
Cross multiplying 5/9 and 10/16

5 x 16 = 80
and
10 x 9 = 90
Since, the products are not same
Hence, 5/9 and 10/16 are not Equivalent Fractions.
Question 5
Check whether 15/24 and 3/4 are Equivalent Fractions ?
Explanation
Cross multiplying 15/24 and 3/4
We get,
15 x 4 = 60
and
3 x 24 = 72
Since, the products are not same
Hence, 15/24 and 3/4 are not Equivalent Fractions.
Question 6
Check whether 2/3 and 6/9 are Equivalent Fractions ?
Explanation
Cross multiplying 2/3 and 6/9
we get,
2 x 9 = 18
and
6 x 3 = 18
Since, the products are same
