Question

Rename fraction to similar fraction 6/8 and2/12=​

Answer 1

I will do 6/8 only. You do the other fraction.

Pick a number, any number. How about 2?

Multiply the top and bottom number by 2.

6 x 2 = 12

8 x 2 = 16

We get 12/16.

Reducing 12/16 to the lowest terms we get 3/4.

Another fraction similar to 6/8 is 3/4. In fact, they are equivalent fractions.

Do the other fraction in like fashion.

Note: Each fraction given has more than one similar fraction.

Answer 2

6/8=18/24

2/12 = 4/24

Explanation:

If you want to make the fractions the same, look at the denominator.

6/8 and 2/12

what number can both 8 and 12 go into?

It goes into 24

so 6/8 would be 6*3 and 8*3 because whatever you do to the bottom, you do to the top and 8*3 is 24 so 6*3 is 18 and for 2/12 you multiply both by 2 since 12*2=24 and 2*2=4
