Answer:

Only one option is correct from the information provided.

c. 12/192

Explanation:

Recall that the area of a rectangle is given by:


= l * w

The larger rectangle has length of 16 and a width of 12.

The area of the larger rectangle is


12 * 16 = 192

The smaller rectangle has length of 4 and a width of 3.

The area of the smaller rectangle is


3 * 4 = 12

The ratio of the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle is


(12)/(192)

When you reduce this fraction , you obtain:


(1)/(16)
