Question
Write the ratio 12:9 as an equivalent ratio of 4:x .
To find an equivalent ratio, we can divide both the numbers in the first ratio by their greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 12 and 9 is 3.
Dividing 12 by 3, we get 4.
Dividing 9 by 3, we get 3.
So, the equivalent ratio of 12:9 is 4:3.
