Tyrone partitioned a rectangle into thirds. Sally partitioned a rectangular of the same size
into fourths. How could you partition a rectangle of the same size so that you see both
thirds and fourths?

Answer:

Explanation:

The least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Divide the rectangle in twelfths.

⅓ = 4/12

¼ = 3/12
