Question

Find the number missing from the following equivalent fractions: 12/16= 3/?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are presented with  $\frac{12}{16}$  and we want to simplify to have a numerator of 3. When simplifying fractions it's important to do the operation on both the numerator and the denominator so,

$\frac{12}{16}$   →  Half the numerator and the denominator →  $\frac{6}{8}$  →  Half the numerator and the denominator again →  $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Whatever you multiply or divide to the numerator, you do to he denominator.

Here, 12 was divided by 4 to obtain 3 in the other fraction. So, the missing number has to be 16 divided by 4, which gives 4
