Answer:
6 copies
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Convert 1 twelfth to an expression
1 twelfth is the same thing as 1/12
Step 2: Convert 3 sixths to an expression
3 sixths is the same thing as 3/6
Step 3: Get common denominators
The lowest common denominator between 1/12 and 3/6 is 12
[tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] → [tex]\frac{(1 * 1)}{(12 * 1)}[/tex] → [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex] → [tex]\frac{(3 * 2)}{(6*2)}[/tex] → [tex]\frac{6}{12}[/tex]
Step 4: Find the amount of 1/12 there are in 6/12
In order to find out the copies, we need to add 1/12 x amount of times to get 6/12. We find that x is going to be 6. Therefore, there 6 copies.
[tex]\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{12} = \frac{6}{12}[/tex]
Answer: 6 copies
