To determine if two fractions are equivalent, simplifying them to their lowest terms is a reliable method. Simplification involves dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a fraction is reduced to its simplest form, it can easily be compared with others. In this case, 9\/12 simplifies to 3\/4. All the given choices must also reduce to 3\/4 to be equivalent. Fractions like 24\/32, 6\/8, and 15\/20 all reduce to 3\/4, confirming their equivalency. However, 16\/24 simplifies to 2\/3, which differs from 3\/4. Therefore, it does not represent the same value and is not equivalent to 9\/12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-325.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-232267\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which fraction is not equivalent to 9\/12 1. 24\/32 2. 6\/8 3. 15\/20 4.16\/24 The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The correct answer is: 4. 16\/24 To determine which fraction is not equivalent to 9\/12, we must first simplify 9\/12 to its lowest terms.
