12/32

A. 4/10
B. 3/8
C. 10/30
D. 6/16
E. 4/9
F. 2/6

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW TO DO IT‼️‼️‼️

Answer 1

B and D

Explanation:

12/32 (if you divide them both by three) does not equal 4/10

12/32 fully simplified is 3/8

12/32 - subtracting is not simplifying, therefore, 10/30 is not correct

12/32 - both divided by two, a common factor, is 6/16, therefore, this answer is correct

12/32 - both of them divided by three equals 4/10.7 (rounded up to the nearest tenth), therefore, 4/9 is not a correct answer

12/32 - both divided by six equals 2/5.3 (rounded down to the nearest tenth), therefore, 2/6 is not a correct answer

Answer 2

Answer: the answers should be B and D

Explanation:

so basically, this is just simplifying

B is the correct answer because the numerator 12, when divided by 4 is 3, and the denominator 32, when also diving by 4, is eight. This makes the two fractions equivalent.

Same goes for D, for if you diving the numerator and denominator by 2, you get answer choice D

it’s kind of a trial and error type problem and you have to test out all possibilities

hope this helps!
