Start Fraction empty box over 2 End Fraction =four twelfths
A. two-thirds
B. 2
C. 5
D. one-third
The correct answer is B. 2.
To solve for the empty box, we can use the concept of equivalent fractions. We know that four twelfths can be simplified to one-third by dividing both numerator and denominator by 4, which gives us one-third.
We can then set up the equation:
Start Fraction empty box over 2 End Fraction = one-third
To solve for the empty box, we can multiply both sides by 2:
empty box = 2 x one-third
empty box = 2/3
Therefore, the answer is B. 2.
