You can simplify it as...
3/6: Because that's 6/2 and 12/2, so the numerator and denominator recieve the same operations
2/4: Because it's 6/3 which = 2, and 12/4 which = 4
1/2: Because it's 6/6=1 and 12/6=2

Answer:

The value is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to find the two different ways to simplify \(\frac{6}{12}\)

First way: By prime factorization

Factors of 6 and 12 are

\(6=2\times 3\)

\(12=2\times 3\times 2\)

Now, cancel the common factors, we get

\(\frac{6}{12}={1}{2}=0.5\)

Second way: Take GCD

\(GCD({6:12})=2\times 3=6\)

Divide both numerator and denominator by GCD, we get

\(\frac{6}{12}=\frac{\frac{6}{6}}{\frac{12}{6}}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\)
