Complete the equation to show how many thirds are equivalent to
8/12 = ?/3

Explanation:

What we need to do is to convert into a new - but still equal - fraction, one with a denominator of 3. In order to convert a fraction, you either divide or multiply both the denominator and the numerator by the same number.

We know that the answer has to be a fraction with the denominator of 3. Take a look at the denominator of - it's 12. Ask yourself: 12 divided by what number equals 3? That number would 4.

So, divide 8 by 4 as well and you would get 2. Therefore, the numerator would be 2 and the answer is .

answer: x= -2y

step-by-step explanation:

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5
