Answer:

4/12, 1/3, 10/30

Explanation:

Jan has 12 ounces milkshakes. Four ounces in the milkshake are vanilla and the rest is chocolate. What are 2 equivalent fractions that represent the fraction of the milkshake that is vanilla?

Total in 1 milkshake: 12 oz

Vanilla: 4 oz

Chocolate: 8 oz (12 oz - 4 oz = 8 oz)

The vanilla fraction is

4/12

Reduce 4/12 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4:

1/3

Multiply the numerator and denominator by 10:

10/30

Here are 3 equivalent fractions of the fraction of vanilla:

4/12, 1/3, 10/30
