Can you please elaborate on this. It's not making sense how they are equal

Hi Joelene,

Since s = 4/r, Column A has the value s. And since s = 10/t, Column B has the same value s. Since Column A and Column B have the same value (s), they are equal in value. So, the answer is C.

Note: The fact that we don't know the value of s, does not matter. If s has the value, say, 3, then both columns would have the value 3 and therefore would be equal.
