Question

What fraction can be used to create a proportion with 4/12

Answer 1

8/24
To have a proportion you must have a scaling factor. A scaling factor is a number which is multiplied by something. With my answer the scaling factor I used it 2. The ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures is also called a scale factor.

Answer 2

`(4)/(12)` has a common factor of 4 in the numerator and denominator we can reduce, which becomes:

`(1)/(3)`, so our proportion is


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