Answer:

9/12 is equal to 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 and 12 can both be divided by 3. In the fraction, divide both the top and the bottom by 3 and you get 3/4.

9/12 simplified is 3/4.

I suspect where Chris went wrong was that he though 9 divided by 2 was 3. In reality, it's 4.5.

Maybe he went wrong because he accidentally divided 12 by 2 instead of 3.
