Question

which ratios are equivalent to 3 parts silver paint to 4 parts green paint?check all that apply 4:5,6:8,5:6,9:12

Answer 1

the ratio of 3 parts of silver to 4 parts green paint is

`(3)/(4)`

hence, we need to find other fractions equivalent to 3/4.

We can see that:

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)=(6)/(8)=(9)/(12) \\ \end{gathered}`

for instance, in the first case,

`(3)/(4)\cdot(2)/(2)=(3\cdot2)/(4\cdot2)=(6)/(8)`

and so on. Therefore, th answer is 6:8 and 9:12
