20/48 & 33/48
method: 48 divided by 12 = 4, multiply 5/12 by 4/4 to get 20/48
4/4 = 1 so you are not changing the value of the fraction; you are only expressing the fraction w/ a larger numerator & denominator

Divide 48 by 12 and multiply the 5 by the answer (4) for 20/48ths
Divide 48 by 16 and multiply the 11 by the answer (3) for 33/48ths.
This gives you the common denominator for the two fracs.

For the first one, multiply the top and bottom by 4 to get (5*4)/(12*4)= 20/48.
For the second one, multiply the top and bottom by 3 to get (11*3)/(16*3)= 33/48.

5/12 = X/48
X = (5*48)/12
5/12 = 20/48
11/16 = X/48
X = (11*48)/16
11/16 = 33/48
simple algebra
