Question

You have two lines. Line A measures 12/16, and line B measures 3/4.

a) Line A is longer
b) The lines are equal.
c) Line B is longer.

Answer 1

B


If you reduce 12 over 16 to its smallest form it changes to 3 over 4

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

Let's compare the two values of 12/16 and 3/4.

Notice that 12/16 isn't a simplified fraction; both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 4. So divide the top and bottom by 4:

12 / 4 = 3

16 / 4 = 4

We are left with:

12/16 = 3/4

Now, we see that Line A and Line B are equal in length, so the answer is B.
