Problem
Write the fraction for \(8\) of \(12\) pizza slices and its simpler equivalent.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
The words “eight of twelve” tell us part over whole, so the selected slices belong in the numerator and all equal slices in the denominator. We’ll write that fraction, divide both parts by their greatest common factor, and check that the reduced numbers share only one. This produces the requested simpler equivalent without reversing the relationship.
