need help please answer

Answer 1

1. c 2. a 3. b

Explanation:

The best way to prove these results are the right ones is by multiplying diagonally :

1. 1/3 = 4/12 -----> 1 . 12 = 12 ; 3 . 4 =12

2. 1/2 = 3/6 ------> 1 . 6 = 6 ; 2 . 3 = 6

3. 2/5 = 6/15 -----> 2 . 15 = 30 ; 5 . 6 = 30

The results of the multiplications must be the same if the fractions are equivalent.
