To convert \( \frac{1}{6} \) to twelfths, you can find an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 12.
First, find a number that you can multiply the denominator (6) by to get 12. In this case, you can multiply by 2:
\[ 6 \times 2 = 12 \]
Now, since you multiplied the denominator by 2, you also multiply the numerator by the same number:
\[ 1 \times 2 = 2 \]
So,
\[ \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{12} \]
Thus, \( \frac{1}{6} \) is equivalent to \( \frac{2}{12} \).
