If you want to find equivalent fractions to, say, 3/4, you can multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number. You don't change the value of a fraction if you multiply its top and bottom numbers by the same number because you are just multiplying by 1.

That completely depends on what "the fraction" is.

Examples:

-- 1/12 of 12 is 1 .

-- 1/4 of 12 is 3 .

-- 1/2 of 12 is 6 .

-- 5/4 of 12 is 15 .

etc.
