Question

Which ratios are equivalent? PLEASE EXPLAIN :D

A) 6/8, 2/3
B) 1/5, 12/15
C) 9/12, 3/4
D) 10/12, 5/7

Answer 1

The answer to this question is: C

Answer 2

C) 9/12, 3/4

Explanation:

To find which ratios are equivalent, we have to simplify them.

A)

• 6 and 8 have a GCF of 2, so 6/2 = 3, and 8/2 = 4. We do not get 3/4 as the fraction- we get 2/3. Thus, this cannot be the correct answer.

B)

• The GCF of 12 and 15 is 3, so 12/3 = 4, and 15/3 = 5. We do not get 4/5 as the fraction- we get 1/5. Thus, this cannot be the correct answer.

C)

• The GCF of 9 and 12 is 3, so 9/3 = 3, and the 12/3 = 4. We get the fraction as 3/4, which 3/4 = 3/4

Therefore, the answer is C).

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
