Answer 2

The key idea here is that if you multiply or divide both numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number, you'll get an equivalent fraction.

So, starting with 8/12, let's choose three numbers, say 2, 5, and 10.

So, if we multiply both numerator and denominator by the same number, we'll get equivalent fractions.

In the first case, we have

`(8\cdot 2)/(12\cdot 2)=(16)/(24)`

In the second case,

`(8\cdot 5)/(12\cdot 5)=(40)/(60)`

Finally,

`(8\cdot 10)/(12\cdot 10)=(80)/(120)`
