Select the two true equations: 5=515=\frac{5}{1} and 41=4\frac{4}{1}=4

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given six different equations.
2. We need to determine which of these equations are true.
3. A true equation will have equal values on both sides.

STEP 2

Evaluate equation (1) 5=515=\frac{5}{1}.

STEP 3

Recognize that any number divided by 1 is equal to itself.
51=5\frac{5}{1} = 5

STEP 4

Conclude that equation (1) is true because both sides are equal.

STEP 5

Evaluate equation (C) 3=333=\frac{3}{3}.

STEP 6

Recognize that any number divided by itself is equal to 1.
33=1\frac{3}{3} = 1

STEP 7

Conclude that equation (C) is not true because the left side is 3 and the right side is 1, which are not equal.

STEP 8

Evaluate equation (c) 2=122=\frac{1}{2}.

STEP 9

Recognize that 12\frac{1}{2} is one half, which is not equal to 2.

STEP 10

Conclude that equation (c) is not true because the left side is 2 and the right side is 12\frac{1}{2}, which are not equal.

STEP 11

Evaluate equation (C) 41=4\frac{4}{1}=4.

STEP 12

Recognize that any number divided by 1 is equal to itself.
41=4\frac{4}{1} = 4

STEP 13

Conclude that equation (C) is true because both sides are equal.

STEP 14

Evaluate equation () 13=3\frac{1}{3}=3.

STEP 15

Recognize that 13\frac{1}{3} is one third, which is not equal to 3.

STEP 16

Conclude that equation () is not true because the left side is 13\frac{1}{3} and the right side is 3, which are not equal.

STEP 17

Evaluate equation (1) 44=4\frac{4}{4}=4.

STEP 18

Recognize that any number divided by itself is equal to 1.
44=1\frac{4}{4} = 1

STEP 19

Conclude that equation (1) is not true because the left side is 44\frac{4}{4}, which equals 1, and the right side is 4, which are not equal.

STEP 20

Identify the two correct equations from the given options.
The two correct equations are:
(1) 5=515=\frac{5}{1}
(C) 41=4\frac{4}{1}=4
