Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine if two fractions are equivalent, you can simplify the second fraction, $\frac{12}{16}$, which simplifies to $\frac{3}{4}$ when both numerator and denominator are divided by their greatest common divisor, 4. Since $\frac{3}{7}$ does not simplify to $\frac{3}{4}$, the fractions are not equivalent.
