Write the ratio 12:36 as an equivalent ratio of x:3 .(1 point)

Answer 1

To find an equivalent ratio, we need to find the value of x that satisfies the new ratio.

We can set up a proportion to solve for x:

12/36 = x/3

Cross multiplying, we get:

12 * 3 = 36 * x

36 = 36x

Dividing both sides by 36, we get:

x = 1

Therefore, the equivalent ratio of 12:36 as x:3 is 1:3.
