Question

Use multiplication to show how many twelfths equal 2/3.

you can get 74 points

Answer 1

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (2)/(3)`

We need. the denominator as 12

So

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (2(4))/(3(4))`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (8)/(12)`

• Answer is 4

Answer 2

`\sf \frac23=(2 * 4)/(3 * 4)=(8)/(12)`

Explanation:

To get from 3 to 12, we must multiply 3 by 4 since 3 x 4 = 12

Therefore, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4:

`\sf \frac23=(2 * 4)/(3 * 4)=(8)/(12)`
