Answer: Nope

Step-by-step explanation: No, because you can see they multiply 1 x 3 to get to 3, but if you multiply 6 x 3, it equals 18, not 12. (6 x 2 = 12) but they have to have the same denominator and numerator to be equivalent. Therefore, no, they are not equivalent.

Answer: No, absolutely not,

Step-by-step explanation: 6x2 = 12, so you have to multiply by 2 on each side. 1x2=2, so the equivilent ratio is 12:2!
