Laurie says summer is 1 over 4 of the year. Maria says summer is 3 over 12 of the year. Who is correct? explain

Both

Step-by-step explanation:

Summer is three months in the year, there are four seasons in a year. Also, if you do 1/4 times 3 you get 3/12!

Step-by-ste

Oh, oh! This is such a tricky question ...

Guess what!

Both of them are correct. Why?

Because if we simplify 3/12, we get 1/4th!

(How do you simplify?)

3/12 = 1/4

Because if we divide both "3" and "12" in 3/12 by 3, we get 1 instead of 3 and 4 instead of 12.

I hope you've got it!; )
