What is equivalent to 8 12?

8 12 is a mixed number, which means it represents a whole number and a fraction. Specifically, 8 12 means 8 whole units and 12 parts of a unit, where each part is equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the whole unit.

An equivalent to 8 12 can be found by first converting it to an improper fraction, where the numerator is greater than the denominator. To do this, we multiply the whole number (8) by the denominator (12) and add the result to the numerator (12). This gives us:

8 * 12 + 12 = 96

So 8 12 is equivalent to the improper fraction 96/12.

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which in this case is 12. This gives us:

96/12 = (8 * 12)/(1 * 12) = 8/1

Therefore, an equivalent to 8 12 is simply 8, which is also known as the whole part of the mixed number.
