Answer:


(8)/(12) and
(3)/(12)

Explanation:

To do this, you must multiple the numerator and denominator of each fraction by whatever number gives you 12 on bottom.

for
(2)/(3) , you would multiply it by 4 since 4×3=12. You would also need to multiply the top by 4, making that fraction
(8)/(12)

For
(1)/(4) , multiply it by 3, which would equal
(3)/(12)
