Answer 1

An equivalent fraction of a given fraction can be obtained by multiplying/dividing its numerator and denominator by the same number (other than zero).

$\frac{8}{12}$
Here, the numerator is 8. To convert it into 4, we have to divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 to get the equivalent fraction.

$\therefore \frac{8}{12}=\frac{8÷2}{12÷2}$

$=\frac{4}{6}$
Given,
$\frac{8}{12}=\frac{4}{?}=\frac{4}{6}$

$?\to 6$
The missing number is 6
