Two rationals with different numerators can never be equal.

Question

State whether the statement given are True or False.

Two rationals with different numerators can never be equal.

Answer 1

False

Let’s take 5/6 (first rational) and 15/18 (second rational)

As given both the rationals have different numerators.

Since, 15 and 18 have 3 in common hence, 

⇒ 15/18 = 5/6 

⇒ 5/6 (second rational) = 5/6 (first rational )

Hence, two rational with different numerators can be equal.
