No. Restate the question: Abby split a circle into 6 equal parts and shaded 5 parts. Lolo split a congruent circle into 9 equal parts and shaded 8 parts. Do the two circles show equivalent fractions? The two fractions are 5/6 and 8/9. Since they are both in lowest terms, they are different quantities and cannot be equivalent. A general method for determining equivalent fractions or to compare them is to convert each fraction to a decimal: 5/6 = 0.833333 ... 8/9 = 0.888888 ... Equivalent fractions are different representations of the same quantity; in this case the two fractions represent different quantities. ======
