Adam drew two same size rectangles and divided them into the same number of equal parts. He shaded 1/3 of one rectangle and 1/4 of the other rectangle. What is the least number of parts into which both rectangles could be divided into?

he divided each rectangle in 12 identical parts

for the first rectangle he shaded 1/3 of 12 = 4 parts

for the second rectangle he shaded 1/4 of 12= 3 parts


so 12= 3*4 leads to a minimum of 12 parts
