No

Work Step by Step

$\frac{4}{13}$ and $\frac{5}{18}$ are equivalent? To check if two fractions are equivalent you use cross product $\frac{a}{b} \frac{c}{d}$ two fraction are equivalent if $a\times d=b\times c$ in this case we have $\frac{4}{13}$ and $\frac{5}{18}$ and we apply the above formula and we have $4\times 18\ne13\times5$ Since the left side is not equal to the right side the two fraction aren't equivalent
