Question

Write the simplest form of $\frac{12}{9}$.

• A. $\frac{6}{4}$
• B. $\frac{3}{2}$
• C. $\frac{3}{4}$
• D. $\frac{4}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{4}{3}$

To write the given fraction in its simplest form, we need to find the HCF of numerator and denominator.

Given fraction: $\frac{12}{9}$

HCF of 12 and 9 is 3.

Now, we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the HCF.

$\frac{12}{9}=\frac{\frac{12}{3}}{\frac{9}{3}}=\frac{4}{3}$

Therefore, $\frac{4}{3}$ is the simplest form of $\frac{12}{9}$.
