A) 3/24 x 2/1

B) 3/24 x 3/3

C) 3/24 ÷ 3/4

D) 3/24 ÷ 3/1

Answer 1

B

B is the only case where the desired fraction is multiplied by de facto 1 (3/3 = 1) and remains unchanged.

all other answer options multiply or divide by something that is different to 1. and so, they change the original fraction.
