Answer :

We will investigate the equivalence of fractions.

We have the first statement as follows:

" 4 divided by 3/2"

We will go ahead and decrypt the above statement mathematically by the use of fractions as follows:

[tex]\frac{4}{\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]

We will now use the conversion of division operator to a multiplication operator by reciprocating the denominator as follows:

[tex]4\cdot\text{ }\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Simplify the above fraction as follows:

[tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

The next statement is given as such:

" 4 divided by 2/3"

We will go ahead and decrypt the above statement mathematically by the use of fractions as follows:

[tex]\frac{4}{\frac{2}{3}}[/tex]

We will now use the conversion of division operator to a multiplication operator by reciprocating the denominator as follows:

[tex]4\cdot\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Simplify the above fraction as follows:

[tex]6[/tex]

If we compare the results of two statement we can say that the statements are not equal.

[tex]\frac{8}{3}\text{ }\ne\text{ 6}[/tex]
