1 answer

To make the fractions equivalent, you would need to multiply both the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) of 7/12 by the same value.

In this case, you want to convert the 12 in the denominator to 48. Since 12 multiplied by 4 equals 48, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator of 7/12 by 4.

7/12 multiplied by 4/4 equals (7*4)/(12*4), which simplifies to 28/48.

Therefore, 7 twelfths is equivalent to 28 forty-eighths.
