Question

A hockey player made 9 goals in 12 games. find the ratio of goals to games. a. 3:4 c. 1:3 b. 4:3 d. 3:1

Answer 1

Answer is 3:4

==========================================================

Reason:

There are 9 goals in 12 games, which produces the ratio 9:12. The order of the values is important since we list the goals first (because we have "goals" before "games" mentioned).

After setting up 9:12, we divide both parts by the GCF 3

9/3 = 3

12/3 = 4

The ratio 9:12 fully reduces to 3:4 as the final answer
