Question

Write equivalent fractions for 2/3 and 1/4using 12 as the common denominator

Answer 1

`(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)`

Answer 2

2/3 = 8/12

1/4

12/4 = 3, so for the fraction 1/4, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 3.
