Question

Find three equivalent ratios of 12 : 16.

Answer 1

Given ratio is 12 : 16 

Write the given ratio as fraction we have 12:16 = \(\frac{12}{16}=\frac{3}{4}\)

Now, write equivalent fractions of \(\frac{3}{4}\)

i. e., 6 : 8 = 9 : 12 = 12 : 16 = 15 : 20 = 18 : 24 

∴ Equivalent ratios of 12 : 16 are 6 : 8, 9 : 12, 12 : 16, 15 : 20 and 18 : 24.
