The ratio 12:28 can be simplified by dividing both numbers by their greatest common factor, which is 4.
12 ÷ 4 = 3
28 ÷ 4 = 7
Therefore, the simplified ratio of 12:28 is 3:7.
To express this in terms of x:7, we need to find the value of x that corresponds to 3. Since 3 is three times smaller than 9 (3 x 3 = 9), x must be 9.
So, the equivalent ratio of 12:28 as x:7 is 9:7.
Write the ratio of 12:28 as an equivalent ration of x:7.
