Question

Karrem says that the ratio 4:1 is eqivilent to the ratio of 12:9 because 4+8=12 and 1+8 =9 is karreem correct

Answer 1

No, Kareem is incorrect.

Explanation:

Kareem says that the ratio of
`(4)/(1)=(12)/(9)` because 4 + 8 = 12 and 1 + 8 = 9

But the correct way to rewrite the ratio 4 : 1 is,

`(4)/(1)=(4* 3)/(1* 3)`

Which becomes as,

`(4)/(1)=(12)/(3)`

Therefore, Kareem is not correct.

Correct ratio equivalent to 4 : 1 is 12 : 3.
