Question

There are 3 feet in 1 yard. This is equivalent to 12 feet in 4 yards. Which proportion can be used to represent this? StartFraction 12 over 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 4 over 12 EndFraction One-third = StartFraction 12 over 4 EndFraction StartFraction 3 over 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 4 over 12 EndFraction StartFraction 3 over 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 12 over 4 EndFraction

Answer 1

d: 3/1 12/4

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(3)/(1)=(12)/(4)`

Explanation:

If you write the proportion as ratios of feet to yards, you have ...

`\frac{3\,\text{ft}}{1\,\text{yd}}=\frac{12\,\text{ft}}{4\,\text{yd}}\\\\\boxed{(3)/(1)=(12)/(4)}\qquad\text{without the units}`

Please note that a proportion is a true statement. Here, you need only pick the true statement from those offered. For example, here's the first choice written in more readable form:

`(12)/(1)=(4)/(12)\qquad\text{FALSE statement}`
