Answer:

J. 12 : 18

Explanation:

Amy used 2 tea bags for every 3 cups of water to make iced tea

the ratio here is 2:3

x = 2:3

lets simplify our ratios

6 : 10 = 3 : 5 ≠ 2 : 3

5 : 6 = (doesn't simplify evenly) ≠ 2 : 3

9 : 15 = 3 : 5 ≠ 2 : 3

12 : 18 = 2 : 3 = 2 : 3

Simplifying

find their highest common factor and divide both the numbers by the same amount (HCF).

Ex.

12 : 18

12 ÷ 6 = 2

18 ÷ 6 = 3

2 : 3
