How can two equivalent fractions be made from this question - Arrange each set of digits in the fractin boxes to make each equivalent - 3 4 6 12?

Answer 1

If you have something like this:

a / b = c / d


then your task is to find which of the numbers 3, 4, 6, 12 go in each position.

There are six fractions that can be formed from these four integers alone:

3/4
3/6 = 1/2
3/12 = 1/4
4/6 = 2/3
4/12 = 1/3
6/12 = 1/2

You could also consider the reciprocals of these, but the results would be the same.

The only ones listed that are equal are 3/6 and 6/12, but you have to reuse the 6. I don't know if you are allowing that. If you allow reuse, then you could also compare 3/3 to 4/4, et cetera.

Otherwise, the problem cannot be solved, without providing additional information. Perhaps some of the boxes mentioned in the question are accompanied by a corresponding numerator or denominator that was not part of the question?
