The peaches are priced at three for $2. How much does one dozen cost? Write an equivalent ratio to find the answer. show your work.

* I know the answers eight dollars for 12 peaches* But I'm not sure how do you answer the question

Wouldn't it be

3:2
since there's 3 for 2

and then for 12 you would get
12:8

So basically you just say 3:$2, and then you can multiply the ratio by 4/4, you could say, to get 12 : $8, if that makes any sense.

I hope that helped!
