Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{4}{5} = \frac{9}{10}[/tex] --- Jack's thought
Because:
[tex]\frac{4+5}{5+5} = \frac{9}{10}[/tex]
Jack's thought is incorrect.
This is so because, to get an equivalent fraction; you don't add common terms to the numerator and the denominator but instead you multiply the numerator and the denominator by a common term.
Take for instance, the common term is: 2
The fraction becomes:
[tex]\frac{4 * 2}{5 * 2} = \frac{8}{10}[/tex]
