No, it's not

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets simplify the two fractions to the lowest term

for 5/20 we'll divide the numerator and denominator by 5 (the HCF of the two)

it then becomes 1/4

For 4/12 we'll divide the numerator and denominator by 4 (the HCF of the two)

it then becomes 1/3

1/4 = 0.25

1/3 = 0.33

therefore 5/20 is not equal to 4/12
