is 1/3 15/27
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a method to determine whether two fractions are equal.......just cross-multiply.....if the products are equal, then the fractions are equal!!
So........1x27 = 27 3 x 15 = 45 Nope!!!
"Reducing" 15/27 gives us 5/9 !!
By the way.....look at these fractions closely.....isn't 15 more than 1/2 of 27??? So there's no way that 15/27 = 1/3, as we can determine just by examination....
