They are = because both can be reduced to 9/17
Also their cross products are equal   27 x 34 = 18 x 51  - Both equal 918 so both fractions are equal to each other.

Answer:

Yes its true . both sides are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

\(\frac{27}{51} =\frac{18}{34}\)

Lets simplify each fraction and check

Left hand side fraction has a common factor 3. divide top and bottom by 3

So \(\frac{27}{51}\) becomes 9/17

Now the right hand side fraction has a common factor 2. Divide top and bottom by 2

So \(\frac{18}{34}\) becomes 9/17

\(\frac{27}{51} =\frac{18}{34}\)

After reducing fractions the equation becomes

\(\frac{9}{17} =\frac{9}{17}\)

So both are equal
