Which fraction is equivalent to
6
12
?
1/2 or 4/8 or 3/6 or 2/4 or 5/10 etc
If you do the simplifying of 2, 6/2 is 3 and 12/2 is 6, so you would get 3/6 at first, then you simplify it by 3, 3/3 is 1, and 6/3 is 2, so you would get 1/2 if you simplify it enough by 2 and 3.
If you do the simplifying by 3 at first, 6/3 is 2, and 12/3 is 4, which leads to 2/4.
If you simplify this by 6, you would get 1/2 again because 6/6 is 1 and 12/6 is 2.
Don't know how Nugget lord got 4/8 and 5/10 but hopefully this could help if you need clarification :)
what is the anser
Well, 6/12 is equivalent to 1/2. It's like having a cake that's cut into 12 slices and you eat 6 slices - you've had half the cake! So, it's a "half-baked" fraction!
To find a fraction equivalent to 6/12, you need to simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
The GCD of 6 and 12 is 6.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6, you get:
6 ÷ 6 = 1
12 ÷ 6 = 2
So, an equivalent fraction to 6/12 is 1/2.
