Question

Help in 4th grade math- i dont know what this is( its for my btother)
Decompose 8/12 in two ways
( but the denominator for both has to be 2)

Answer 1

>( but the denominator for both has to be 2)

Did you mean to write 12 rather than 2 in the above statement?

Answer 2

Nope that is why I was confused when i was helping my little brother

Answer 3

To simplify the fraction we can divide by 2/2 in which what we get we can divide once more by 2/2 which should get a final answer with 2/3....

\(\Huge{\frac{8}{12} \div \frac{2}{2} \rightarrow \frac{4}{6} \div \frac{2}{2} \rightarrow \color{red}{\frac{2}{3}}}\)

Answer 4

The answer has to be like something/ 2
