Question

How is 3:8 equivalent to 12:32

Answer 1

Hi Krissia

From the word equivalent we can see the word "equal"

3:8 equivalent to 12:32 because when you divided them, we get 0.375

3:8 = 0.375
12;32 = 0.375

They are equivalent because their numerator is equal.


I hope I helped!

Answer 2

If you take the 3 in 3:8 and multiply it by 4, it’s 12. And if you take the 8 in 3:8 and multiply it by 4, you get 32. The twelve and 32 make up 12:32 proving that those two ratios are equivalent
