Question

We have an egg carton which can carry a maximum of 12 eggs. If it has only 8 eggs in it, then choose the fractions which represent eggs in the carton.

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
  
• B. $\frac{6}{12}$
• C. $\frac{8}{12}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A $\frac{2}{3}$

C $\frac{8}{12}$

Total number of eggs the carton can carry = 12

Number of eggs in the carton = 8

$\therefore$ Required fraction = $\frac{8}{12}$ = $\frac{8÷4}{12÷4}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$
