Definition and scope
Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
Check THIS bank’s keys/operation/domain:legacy table underscores,MOD50 local hyphens;permissive BASE data acquires no unknown-field restriction.Keep Number.isInteger and SAFE source guards distinct,while preserving ORIGINAL JSON number representations.
Calculate exactly from ORIGINAL ordered operands.Legacy derived integers are not recapped at the RAW SAFE bound;MOD50 rationals separately retain the NAIVE pre-reduction source envelope.

FIRST require nonzero b,d.Then a/b=c/d IFF ad=cb.Negative denominators are allowed;equation equivalence survives multiplication by a nonzero number.Never certify undefined ratios using0=0 with zero denominators.

Result
No
The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
