Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{2}{1}=\frac{8}{12}\text{ and }\frac{8}{12}=\frac{4}{6}$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$\frac{1}{3}\times 2=\frac{8}{12}\text{ and }\frac{8}{12}=\frac{4}{6}$$

Multiply \frac{1}{3} and 2 to get \frac{2}{3}.

$$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{12}\text{ and }\frac{8}{12}=\frac{4}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\text{ and }\frac{8}{12}=\frac{4}{6}$$

Compare \frac{2}{3} and \frac{2}{3}.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\frac{8}{12}=\frac{4}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Compare \frac{2}{3} and \frac{2}{3}.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\text{true}$$

The conjunction of \text{true} and \text{true} is \text{true}.

$$\text{true}$$
