Question

Aisha ate 1/4 of the carrots in the bag. Enrique ate 3/12 of the carrots in the bag. Compare the amounts of carrots they each ate.

Answer 1

The amount of carrots they each ate are the same because 12 is a multiple of 4. There are 3 4’s in one 12. If you multiply 1/4 times 3 you will get 3/12 because 1 x 3 = 3. And 4 x 3 = 12
