Question

Which two ratios are equivalent to 11/12?A. 4/5 and 12/13B. 22/24 and 33/36C. 22/33 and 33/34D. 23/24 and 35/36

Answer 1

Two ratios are equivalent if the division between them is equal to one. We need to look at the options to check for which these are true.

For A:

`((11)/(12))/((4)/(5))=(11)/(12)\cdot(5)/(4)=(55)/(48)`

Since the answer is different than one, this is not the correct option.

For B:

`((11)/(12))/((22)/(24))=(11)/(12)\cdot(24)/(22)=(264)/(264)=1`
`((11)/(12))/((33)/(36))=(11)/(12)\cdot(36)/(33)=(396)/(396)=1`

Since the result of the division is one for both ratios, the correct option is "B".
