The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the fractions \( \frac{14}{77} \) and \( \frac{2}{11} \) are equivalent, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify \( \frac{14}{77} \) To simplify \( \frac{14}{77} \), we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (14) and the denominator (77). - The factors of 14 are: 1, 2, 7, 14 - The factors of 77 are: 1, 7, 11, 77 The greatest common factor is 7. Now, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD (7): \[ \frac{14 \div 7}{77 \div 7} = \frac{2}{11} \] ### Step 2: Compare the simplified fraction with \( \frac{2}{11} \) Now that we have simplified \( \frac{14}{77} \) to \( \frac{2}{11} \), we can see that: \[ \frac{14}{77} = \frac{2}{11} \] ### Conclusion Since both fractions are equal after simplification, we conclude that: \[ \frac{14}{77} \text{ is equivalent to } \frac{2}{11} \] ### Final Answer The fractions \( \frac{14}{77} \) and \( \frac{2}{11} \) are equivalent. ---
