Question

Which ratio is equivalent to 1:3 and 12:36? (A) 2:18 (B) 4:9 (C) 4:12 (D) 6:6

Answer 1

(C) - C for Correct!

Explanation:

We can look at ratios as a fraction, so 1:3 = 1/3 and 12:36 = 12/36. We can simplify the second fraction into 12/36 = 1/3 by canceling 12 from the numerator and denomerator. We can do this with all of the answer choices:

(A) Wrong - 2/18 = 1/9

(B) Wrong - 4/9

(C) Correct - 4/12 = 1/3

(D) Wrong - 6/6 = 1

I hope this helps!!! :)
