Answer:
In a nutshell, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] is not equivalent to [tex]\frac{18}{32}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Now we proceed to demonstrate that Edgar's statement is false:
1) [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] Given
2) [tex]\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{2}[/tex] Modulative property/Existence of multiplicative inverse
3) [tex]\frac{6}{10}[/tex] [tex]\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a\cdot b}{c\cdot d}[/tex]
4) [tex]\frac{6}{10}\times \frac{3}{3}[/tex] Modulative property/Existence of multiplicative inverse
5) [tex]\frac{18}{30}[/tex] [tex]\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a\cdot b}{c\cdot d}[/tex]/Result
In a nutshell, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] is not equivalent to [tex]\frac{18}{32}[/tex].
