Question 3.
When $\frac{1}{4}$ is written with denominator as 12, its numerator is
(a) 3
(b) 8
(c) 24
(d) 12

Answer 1

(a) Given fraction = $\frac{1}{4}$
In order to make the denominator as 12, we will multiply the denominator by 3 and we will also multiply the numerator by 3, to find the equivalent fraction.
$\therefore$ $\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1\times 3}{4\times 3}=\frac{3}{12}$
Hence, when $\frac{1}{4}$ is written with denominator as 12, then is numerator will be 3.
