Sandy is trying to reconstruct her spending pattern from July. She knows that she had $277 in her account on July 1, but after that, her receipts and balance statements are all scrambled. Here are Sandy's records:

| Date | Transaction Type | Amount ($) |
| :----- | :--------------- | :--------- |
| 7/26 | Purchase | 86 |
| 7/25 | Deposit | 76 |
| 7/4 | Purchase | 137 |
| 7/6 | Deposit | 90 |
| 7/10 | Purchase | 131 |
| 7/9 | Purchase | 145 |
| 7/15 | Deposit | 152 |
| 7/19 | Purchase | 137 |

Assuming that this is a complete, if scrambled, record of Sandy's July spending and that any overdraft fees incurred do not affect the running total, how many times did Sandy overdraw her account in July?
A. Sandy never overdrew her account.
B. Sandy only overdrew her account once.
C. Sandy overdrew her account twice.

No because u would multiply to get a common denominator and it would be 4/6 5/6

no they are not because 2/3 is equal to .6 and 5/6 is equal to .83 ;

The ratios 3 2 ​ and 6 5 ​ are not equivalent. When converting 3 2 ​ to have a common denominator, it equals 6 4 ​ , which is not equal to 6 5 ​ . Hence, they represent different values and are not equivalent ratios.
