Question

$\frac{1}{12}\text{is represented as shown in the figure below.}$


Find its equivalent fraction.

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
• B. $\frac{2}{12}$
• C. $\frac{2}{8}$
• D. $\frac{2}{24}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{2}{24}$


In the given figure, there are 12 parts, out of which one part is shaded.

$\text{Therefore, it represents}\frac{1}{12}.$

$\text{We have to find an equivalent fraction of}\frac{1}{12}.$

Divide each part of the figure into 2 parts, as shown below:


Now, the above figure has 24 parts out of which 2 are selected.

$\text{So, this equals}\frac{2}{24}.$

$\text{Therefore, an equivalent fraction of}\frac{1}{12}$ $is\frac{2}{24}.$
