Question

Solve the given fraction, When in $\dfrac{1}{4}$ denominator is written as 12 then what is the value of its numerator.

Answer 1

Hint: Here in this question it is given 12 as the denominator and the value of the fraction as $\dfrac{1}{4}$. We have to find the value of the numerator.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Let be the given fraction is, F = $\dfrac{1}{4}$
We have to convert the denominator into 12, so convert 4 into 12 we have to multiply the given denominator 4 with 3.
So we also have to multiply our numerator with the number 3,
So we get,
F = $\dfrac{1}{3}$ $ \times$ $\dfrac{3}{3}$.
So our Fraction becomes F = $\dfrac{3}{{12}}$.

Therefore our required value of the numerator is 3.

Note: A fraction represents a part of the whole. The denominator in the fraction can never be 0. Fractions can either be negative or positive. If the numerator is less than the denominator in the fraction then it is called as a proper fraction. If the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator then it is called an improper fraction.
