Question

Prove 3:8 is equivalent to 12:32 use diagrams to support your answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12 / 32 ÷ 4/4

12 ÷ 4 = 3

32 ÷ 4= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove equivalency of fractions, we must always break down fractions to it's lowest possible term.

12/ 32 can still be broken further.

Let's divide the numerator and denominator by thesame number

12 / 32 ÷ 4/4

12 ÷ 4 = 3

32 ÷ 4= 8

That's a show that:

12/32 when broken down to it's lowest term becomes 3/8
