THIS IS FOR 10 POINTS!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME

12p=?

If p represents a proper fraction then your answer will be
A. Less than
B.Greater than
C. Equal to
AND
What fraction makes the above statement true
2/3 12/1 2/2 8/8 5/4 5/8 12 3/5 16/4

Answer 1

A proper fraction is a fraction that is less than 1, that is the nominator is smaller than the denominator.

an example of a proper fraction is 1/2.

so let's try it out:

12*
`(1)/(2)`=6

so if p represents a proper fraction, the result could be bigger than 1

but it could also be 1:

12*
`(1)/(12)`=1

or less than 1:

12*
`(1)/(22)`=
`(1)/(12)`


So... I think you might have forgotten something?

The options (A. Less than
B.Greater than
C. Equal to)

need something else at the end: less than WHAT etc.


as for the second part, among the fractions:


2/3 12/1 2/2 8/8 5/4 5/8 12 3/5 16/4

Only those are proper fractions (so would make the statement true)

2/3

5/8

3/5
