Question

Explain why 3/4 and 9/12 are equivalent?

Answer 1

3/4=9/12

Explanation:

multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 to get:

3 3 9

--- X --- = ----

4 3 12

Answer 2

They’re equivalent because 3 • 3 is 9 and whatever you do to the top, you do to the bottom, therefore 4 • 3 is 12. That would equal 9/12.
