standard_description: Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). For example, the expressions y + y + y and 3y are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number y stands for.

Dan observes that $$\frac{6}{10}\div \frac{2}{10} = 6 \div 2$$ He says,
I think that if we are dividing a fraction by a fraction with the same denominator, then we can just divide the numerators.
Is Dan’s conjecture true for all fractions? Explain how you know.
