Question #8f0bd

Answer 1

It doesn't?

Explanation:

`13/30 = 0.4333`

`2/7 = 0.285714`

Answer 2

Only with integer division
in which case `13/30=0` and `2/7=0`

Explanation:

Assuming the numbers are base 10
`2/7=0.bar(285714)` and `13/30=0.4bar3`

So they are obviously not equal for base 10 with rational (`RR`) values.

With a bit of manipulation it can be demonstrated that the two ratios are not equal for any positive base.
