Chris said that a fraction equivalent to 9/12 is 3/6

9/12 is equal to 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 and 12 can both be divided by 3. In the fraction, divide both the top and the bottom by 3 and you get 3/4.

9/12 simplified is 3/4.

I suspect where Chris went wrong was that he though 9 divided by 2 was 3. In reality, it's 4.5.

Maybe he went wrong because he accidentally divided 12 by 2 instead of 3.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
