1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

When writing a fraction in simplest form, you first have to look at the numerator and the denominator.

The numerator is 3 and the denominator is 12. so now we have to figure out the greatest common factor (GCF) between the two.

first we can look at 3.

3 goes into 3 once (3 ÷ 3 = 1).

now at 12.

3 goes into 12 four times (12 ÷ 3 = 4)

so now by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCF of 3, you get

1/4 or 0.25
