Question

The ratio 4:10 or 6:18 or 18:24 or 48:16 is equivalent to 12/36

Answer 1

Given the ratio 12/36, if you divide each term by 3, you get:

`((12)/(3))/((36)/(3))=(4)/(12)`

Then, 4:10 is not equivalent to 12/36​.

if you divide each term by 2, you get:

`((12)/(2))/((36)/(2))=(6)/(18)`

or 6:18

If you multiply each term by 3/2, you get:

`(12\cdot(3)/(2))/(36\cdot(3)/(2))=(18)/(54)`

Then, 18:24 is not equivalent to 12/36​.

If you multiply each term by 4, you get:

`(12\cdot4)/(36\cdot4)=(48)/(144)`

Then, 48:16 is not equivalent to 12/36​.
