Question

Explain any mistakes in the renaming of the fractions below. Show the correct renaming.

1/4=3/12 2/3=6/12

Answer 1

2/3 = 8/12

Explanation:

1/4 is equal to 3/12, because 1/4 times 3/3 (which is 1) equals to 3/12.

2/3 is not equal to 6/12, because 6/12 can be simplified to 1/2. 2/3 is greater than 1/2, not equal to half. So, 2/3 times 4/4 (which is 1) equals to 8/12.

Hope this helps :)

Have a nice day!
