Tony is writing a fraction equivalent to 2/7 using the formula 2×m/7×n . Which statement about m and n must be true so that Tony's fraction has the same value as 2/7 ?
The values of m and n must be equal.
To find the fraction that is equivalent to 2/7 using the formula 2×m/7×n, we need to determine the values for m and n.
If Tony's fraction is equivalent to 2/7, then we need to find values for m and n such that 2×m/7×n = 2/7.
Since the numerator is already 2, we can set m = 1.
Now, we have 2×1/7×n = 2/7.
To cancel out the fraction in the denominator, we need n = 1.
Therefore, the statement that must be true is m = 1 and n = 1.
