Respuesta :

The expression [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{{\mathbf{equivalent}}}[/tex] to the expression [tex]\dfrac{4}{12}[/tex].

Further explanation:  

The number ab is the product of [tex]a\;\text{and}\;b[/tex]  and it is the multiple of [tex]a[/tex] where [tex]b[/tex] are the integers.

It can be written as,

[tex]ab=a\times b[/tex]  

Given:

The given expressions are [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] and [tex]\dfrac{4}{12}[/tex].

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

The given expression is [tex]\dfrac{4}{12}[/tex].

The denominator and the numerator of the given expression is the multiple of [tex]4[/tex].

The denominator of the expression can be written in the multiple of 4 as,

[tex]12=4\times3[/tex]  

Therefore, the number 12 is the multiple of [tex]3\;\text{and}\;4[/tex].

The numerator of the expression can be written in the multiple of 4 as,

[tex]4=4\times1[/tex]  

Therefore, the number 4 is the multiple of [tex]1\;\text{and}\;4[/tex].

Step 2:

Now, divide the given expression [tex]\dfrac{4}{12}[/tex] by 4 to convert in the lowest form as,

[tex]\begin{aligned}\frac{4}{12}&=\dfrac{4\div4}{12\div4}\\&=\dfrac{1}{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]  

It can be seen that the resultant answer is [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex].

Now, divide the given expression  [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] by 1 as,

[tex]\begin{aligned}\dfrac{1}{3}&=\dfrac{1\div1}{3\div1}\\&=\dfrac{1}{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]  

It can be seen that the resultant answer is [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex].

Thus, it can be seen that the expression [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] is equivalent to the expression [tex]\dfrac{4}{12}[/tex].
