Answer:

True

Explanation:

12/24 Can be rewritten as 1/2

2/4 Can also be rewritten as 1/2

In order to simplify the first fraction we would divide by the biggest factor, which in this case for the first equation its 12.

12/12 = 1 and 24/12 = 2 giving us the result of 1/2

Using the knowledge above we can see that the second equation is divisible by a factor of 2.

You could also make the connection that both fractions are multiples of 2.

I hope this helped you.
