Write an equivalent fraction to the given fraction: \$2/3\$ = \$? /12\$.

Step: 1

Given equivalent fraction \$2/3\$ = \$? /12\$.

$1a$

Explanation:

In this step, the given fraction is \$2/3\$ = \$ ? /12\$. To find an equivalent fraction of \$2/3\$ with a denominator of 12, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Step: 2

To find what number you can multiply 3 by to get 12. That number is 4.
Number to multiply = \$12/3\$ = 4.

$2a$

Explanation:

To convert \$2/3\$ to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 12, you need to divide 12 by the current denominator (3), i.e., \$12/3\$ = 4.

Step: 3

Now, multiply both the numerator and denominator of \$2/3\$ by 4:
\$2/3\$ × \$4/4\$ = \$8/12\$.

So, \$2/3\$ is equivalent to \$8/12\$ when the denominator is 12.

$3a$

Explanation:

In this step, here by multiplying 2 and 4, we get 8 and by multiplying 3 and 4, we get 12. So, \$2/3\$ is equivalent to \$8/12\$.
