Question

Are the ratios 1:2 and 12:16 equivalent?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

You would have to multiple the same number by both the numerator and the denominator to get the same number.

`(1)/(2)` x
`(8)/(8)` =
`(8)/(16)` The denominator would be 16, but the numerator is not 12.

`(1)/(2)` x
`(12)/(12)` =
`(12)/(24)` This time I go the numerator that I wanted 12, but the denominator is not 16.
