Answer:

3/4 is equivalent to neither of these fractions.

Step-by-step explanation: Examples of equivalent fractions for 3/4 from lowest to greatest include 6/8, 9/12, 12/16, 15/20, 18/24 and so on. And you can use cross multiplication for each one to see if it is equivalent or not. As you can see, 3/12 and 5/8 are not equal to 3/4. Hope this helps ^-^.

Answer:

no

Explanation:

to be equivalent both numbers have to be multiplied pr divided by the same number.

to get to 5/8 you can multiply 4x2 but 3x2 equals 6

So to be equal it would have to be 6/8

To get to 3/12 you can multiply 4 by 3 but 3*3= 9

So to be equal it has to be 9/12
