Write the ratio 12:9 as an equivalent ratio of 4:x.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the equivalent ratio of 4:x, we need to first simplify the ratio of 12:9 by dividing both sides by their greatest common factor:

12 ÷ 3 = 4
9 ÷ 3 = 3

So the simplified ratio is 4:3. Now we need to find what value x is in the equivalent ratio of 4:x. We know that the two ratios are equal, so we can set up a proportion:

4 / 3 = 4 / x

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

4x = 12
x = 3

Therefore, the equivalent ratio of 12:9 as 4:x is 4:3, or 12:9 as 4:3.
