X/12=1/4


cross multiply



4x=12


clear the 4


x=3


substitute in original equation.



3/12=1/4


Also if you multiply the bottom number by 3 then you will get 12ths (3X4=12).


Now multiply the top number by 3 (3X1=3)



answer is 3/12


There are 3 because 3/12 equals 1/4.


I hope this helps you in your studies and have an awesome day!
