ok i need help
Identify the fraction that is equivalent to 3/8 (three eighths)
A: 15/32
B: 12/32
C: 12/24
D: 9/32
Pls help thanks
Yes, You're right.
12/32
12/4 = 3
32/4 = 8
You are very welcome.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
ok Ms Sue i think it's B but i'm not sure if i'm right
thank you
thank you so much :D
Of course, I'd be happy to help you identify the equivalent fraction to 3/8.
To find an equivalent fraction, we need to either multiply or divide the numerator and denominator of the given fraction by the same number. This ensures that the value of the fraction does not change.
Let's go through each answer choice and see if it is equivalent to 3/8:
A: 15/32 - To check if this is equivalent to 3/8, we can simplify both fractions. The simplified form of 15/32 is 15/32. Since this simplified form is not equal to 3/8, we can eliminate this option.
B: 12/32 - Again, let's simplify this fraction. We can divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 4, to get 3/8. So, this option is equivalent to 3/8.
C: 12/24 - Once again, let's simplify this fraction. By dividing both the numerator and denominator by 12, we get 1/2. Therefore, this option is not equivalent to 3/8 and can be eliminated.
D: 9/32 - Lastly, let's check if this fraction is equivalent to 3/8. After simplifying, we get 9/32. This fraction is not equivalent to 3/8, so we can eliminate this option as well.
Therefore, the equivalent fraction to 3/8 is B: 12/32.
