Answer sheet

1. 3/6 — Multiply the numerator and denominator of 12 by 3: 1 × 3 = 3 and 2 × 3 = 6, giving 36.
2. 4/15 — 410, 615 and 820 all come from multiplying 2 and 5 by the same number. 415 does not: the numerator was multiplied by 2 but the denominator by 3.
3. 3/4 — 6 and 8 share a common factor of 2. 6 ÷ 2 = 3 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4, giving 34.
4. 1/4 — Ruby ate 312 of the pizza. Dividing 3 and 12 by 3 gives 14.
5. 4 — 3 × 4 = 12, so multiply the numerator by 4 as well: 1 × 4 = 4.
6. 2/3 — 10 and 15 share a common factor of 5. 10 ÷ 5 = 2 and 15 ÷ 5 = 3, giving 23.
7. 30 — 5 × 5 = 25, so multiply the denominator by 5 as well: 6 × 5 = 30.
8. 3/5 — 10 ÷ 2 = 5, so divide the numerator by 2 as well: 6 ÷ 2 = 3. The answer is 35.
