48/100 is 48% that can be simplified to 24/50. we can simply further to 12/25. this is simpilist form as it can no longer be equally divisible on both sides
You can multiply by 12 because to get rid of the fractions all terms should be divided by the LCM (ie the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 2, 4 and 3)
Multiples of 3 = 3, 6, 9, 12
Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16
Multiples of 2 = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
Therefore the fractions should be multiplied by 12
