Answer 1

Given fraction = 12/16
Numerator of given fraction = 12
Desired numerator = 3

We can see,
To make 12=3, we have to divide 12 by 4. (12 ÷ 3=4)

Thus, we will divide the denominator(16) also by 4.

So the fraction we have is,
(12 ÷ 4 )/ (16 ÷ 4)
= (3)/(4)
= 3/4

Hence, the correct answer is option 3) 3/4
