Multiply the top numbers, you get 6
Multiply the bottom numbers, you get 12
6/12

Now reduce.

6/12 which reduces to 1/2.

Yes, chb, it does. I was only asking that jenny finish her homework herself.

You see 6 goes into 6 one time. So 1 is the numerator

Then 6 goes into 12 two times. So 2 is the denominator

You get 1/2
