Using cross-multiplication:

ad = bc

We are given Gabriela drank 3/4 of her glass of milk and Jenny drank 6/8 of hers. If both glasses were the same size, we can find if they drank the same amount of milk by proving:

Using cross-multiplication:

3*8 = 4*6

Since 24 = 24 is true, we can say they drank the same amount of milk
