Question

Start Fraction empty box over 2 End Fraction =four twelfths
A. two-thirds
B. 2
C. 5
D. one-third

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. 2.

To solve for the empty box, we can use the concept of equivalent fractions. We know that four twelfths can be simplified to one-third by dividing both numerator and denominator by 4, which gives us one-third.

We can then set up the equation:

Start Fraction empty box over 2 End Fraction = one-third

To solve for the empty box, we can multiply both sides by 2:

empty box = 2 x one-third

empty box = 2/3

Therefore, the answer is B. 2.
