Answer: C) (3, 3.9)(65, 84.5)(24, 31.2)

Step-by-step explanation:


Ou choice is C) and we just need to prove that 17:22.1 = 3:3.9. First, we will change the ratios into fractions so that


\boxed{ (17)/(22.1) = (3)/(3.9)}

To prove the above equation we use cross multiplication so that

17(3.9) = 3(22.1)
66.3 = 66.3

Which is a true equation. Therefore, 17:22.1 = 3:3.9.
