Answer 2

Answer: D. 8/12

Explanation:

8/12 is the equivalent fraction to 2/3 which we can see when the fraction is put into it's simplest form.

See here: In the fraction 8/12, there is an 8 as the numerator (top number) and a 12 as the denominator (bottom number). When we look at these, it is crucial to find the GCF (greatest common factor) so it can be put into simplest form. In this case, 8's factors are (1x8) and (2x4). 12's factors are (1x12), (2x6), and (3x4). Looking at these factors for both numbers, we can see that they both have a 2 and a 4. However, because the 4 is the greater number, it is our GCF. Now divide the numerator and the denominator by 4 to get 2/3
