Question

Is 1:4 equivalent to 12:3

Answer 1

Yes (if your doing fractions)

Explanation:

If you didn’t know how to simplify you could see the greatest possible multiple that 3 and 12 share. So 3 is the greatest possible multiple because 3x4=12. So you do the denominator and numerator to divide 3 and eventually you will get 1/4. (Sorry if I’m not accurate)

Answer 2

Answer: no

Explanation:

first, we have to simplify when finding if they are equivalent or not.

1:4 = 0.25

12:3 = 4:1
