someone pls answer
Answered by mathhelper
To test if two ratios a/b or c/d are equal
a/b vs d/d
if ad = bd, they are equal

so just test each one
eg. is 12/4 = 8/24 ???
becomes is (12)(24) = (4)(8) , obviously false, so 12/4 ≠ 8/24

of course the obvious way would be reduce
each of the fractions to lowest terms
e.g.
is 12/8 = 24/4 ??
is 3/2 = 6/1 ??? , nope

will let you find the correct answer (I already did 2 of them)
