Answer:

\dfrac{3}{8}

Explanation:

A fraction is in simplest form when the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) cannot be any smaller, while still being whole numbers.

To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest number that will divide both numbers exactly (they must stay whole numbers). To identify the greatest divisor, factorise both numbers.

Since

12=2\cdot 2\cdot 3\\ \\32=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2

you can divide the numerator and the denominator by 2\cdot 2=4

\dfrac{12}{32}=\dfrac{2\cdot 2\cdot 3}{2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2}=\dfrac{3}{2\cdot 2\cdot 2}=\dfrac{3}{8}
