please help at 11 o'clock am it needs to be done ​

Answer 1

6

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is seeking for an equivalent of one expression. The first expression says 1/3 of 12, which means 1/3 × 12 = 4. To find 2/3 of a number that will give us 4, we say

Since; 1/3 of 12 is 4

Then, 4 = 2/3 of x, where x is the number, which when multiplied by two-third (2/3) will result to 4.

4 = 2/3 × x

4 = 2x/3

Cross multiply

2x = 3 × 4

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6.

This means that; 1/3 of 12 = 2/3 of 6
