Answer 1

3/12 = 1/4

Another way to solve this is to cross multiply. If 3/12 = _/4, we multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction. Then, we get 12. Divide the 12 by the denominator of the first fraction to get 12/12. This will give you an answer of 1 as well.
