Question

the ratio 4:10 or 6:18 or 18:24 or 48:16 is equivalent to 12/36

Answer 1

Given the ratio 12/36, if you divide each term by 3, you get:

$\frac{\frac{12}{3}}{\frac{36}{3}}=\frac{4}{12}$

Then, 4:10 is not equivalent to 12/36​.

if you divide each term by 2, you get:

$\frac{\frac{12}{2}}{\frac{36}{2}}=\frac{6}{18}$

or 6:18

If you multiply each term by 3/2, you get:

$\frac{12\cdot\frac{3}{2}}{36\cdot\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{18}{54}$

Then, 18:24 is not equivalent to 12/36​.

If you multiply each term by 4, you get:

$\frac{12\cdot4}{36\cdot4}=\frac{48}{144}$

Then, 48:16 is not equivalent to 12/36​.
