What is 8/12 as a mixed number in simplest form?

Since 8/12 is a proper fraction, it cannot be written as a mixed number. However, 8/12 can be simplified to 2/3.

both equations and proportions are better.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
