If you don't simplify and leave it as 6/12, it is still equivalent to 1/2 but not in the simplest form (lowest terms).

1/3 x 3/4
(Hint: You will need to simplify you answer)
3/5
1/4
1/3
1 1/12 (1 and 1/12)
The solution is:
1/3 x 3/4 = (1 x 3) / (3 x 4) = 3/12 = 1/4
Therefore, the answer is 1/4 which is already in the simplest form.

2/3 x 1/4=
(Hint: You will need to simplify you answer)
3/7
1/6
3/8
3/8
The solution is:
2/3 x 1/4 = (2 x 1) / (3 x 4) = 2/12 = 1/6
Therefore, the answer is 1/6 which is already in the simplest form.
So, the correct answer is 1/6 and not 3/8.

The solution is:
1/4 x 16 = (1 x 16) / 4 = 16/4 = 4
Therefore, the answer is 4.
