Question

Prove that 3:8 is equivalent to 12:32

Answer 1

3:8 = 12:32

For easier understanding, we make 3:8 into 3/8 and 12:32 into 12/32

3/8 = 12/32

Cross multiply

3*32 = 8*12

96 = 96

Since the products are equal, the ratios are equivalent.

You can also simplify 12:32

12 / 4 = 3

32 / 4 = 8
