To determine if the two fractions are equal, we convert the two fractions so that the denominators are the same, and then we compare the numerators to see if they are also same.
The least common denominator of the two fractions is 65. To convert 4/5 so the denominator is 65, you multiply the numerator and denominator by 13. To convert 3/13 so the denominator is 65, you multiply the numerator and denominator by 5.
