Question

Why are 3/4 and 8/12 NOT equivalent? Thanks!

Answer 1

Answer:Does this help?

Explanation:

3/4 needs to have the same denominator as 8/12 so you can do this by multiplying the denominator by 3 and the top by 3 you get 9/12 When you convert them to percents you get , 3/4= 75% and 8/12= 66.666%

Answer 2

3/4 and 8/12 aren’t equivalent because when you simplify 8/12, you get 2/3. 2/3 as a decimal is 0.6 repeated and 3/4 equals 0.75
