Question

Karen will divide her garden into equal parts she will plant corn on 8/12 of the garden what is the fewest number of parts she can divide her garden into

Answer 1

Simplify 8/12 first to get the least number of parts she can divide her garden into.

Take a 4 out of both the numerator and denominator to simplify the fraction to 2/3.

Thus, the least number of parts she can divide her garden into is 3, because this is the most simplified denominator of the fraction.
