Answer:
there are 2 ways:
[tex]\frac{12}{102}[/tex] ?= [tex]\frac{18}{153}[/tex]
1) try to simplify
[tex]\frac{12}{102}[/tex] (divide the numerator and denominator by 6) ?= [tex]\frac{18}{153}[/tex] (divide the numerator and denominator by 9)
2/17 = 2/17 so yes they are equivalent
2) use cross products
102x18 ?= 12x153
1836 = 1836 so yes they are equivalent
