2. Check if two fractions are equivalent.

In order to check whether two fractions are equivalent or not, the easiest method is the one of crossing products.
We "cross-multiply" its terms.
The product of the numerator of a fraction by the denominator of the other must have the same value in both cases.

In this window a random fraction appears, you have to type another one and then click on the blue triangle to see the verification step by step.
