Answer:

12/30

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

Three of these fractions are equivalent A.30/70 B.12/30 C.9/21 D.6/14 which one is the odd one out

to determine the equivalent fractions, convert the fractions to percentage


(30)/(70) × 100 = 42.86%


(12)/(30) × 100 = 40%


(9)/(21) × 100 = 42.86%


(6)/(14) x 100 = 42.86%

Another method is to convert the fraction to its simplest form

30/70

To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 10 = 3/7

12/30

To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 6 = 2/5

9/21

To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3 = 3/7

6/14

To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2 = 3/7

Using either methods, 12/30 is the odd one out
