Jason has mowed 1/4 of the yard. Tommy says that Jason has mowed 2/5 of the yard. Is Tommy correct A Tommy is correct because 1/4 + 1/1 = 2/5; therefore, 1/4 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.
B
Tommy is correct because 1/4 and 2/5 are both less than 1/2; therefore, 1/4 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.
C Tommy is incorrect because equivalent fractions are found by multiplying by a fraction equal to 1, not by adding a fraction equal to 1. 1/4 × 1/1 ≠ 2/5; therefore, 1/4 and 2/5 are not equivalent fractions.
D. Tommy is incorrect because 1/4 and 2/5 have different denominators; therefore, 1/4 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.
