Sagot :

Answer:

C. 1/4 = 3/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First,we have to find the LCM of the denominators which are 4 and 12,and their LCM is 12. So now we have to multiply the both the denominators of the fractions to get the multiple which is 12. So,1/4, we have to find how many times does 12 comes in 4's table,so it comes 3 times,which will be = 4x3= 12. Now 1/4 = 3/12 bc we have to multiply the numerator also with 3 as we did with 4. Now going to the next fraction which is 3/12,for the denominator= 12x1= 12,3x1= 3,so it will be = 3/12. Therefore,both the fractions are equal. Please mark brainliest if you can :)
