Answer:

No, 112:13 is not equivalent to 12:3.To determine if two ratios are equivalent, you can simplify them by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers in each ratio and then dividing both numbers by that GCD.For 112:13:

GCD(112, 13) = 1 (because 13 is a prime number)

So, 112/1 : 13/1 = 112:13For 12:3:

GCD(12, 3) = 3

So, 12/3 : 3/3 = 4:1As you can see, 112:13 is not equivalent to 12:3.
