Find two equivalent ratios for $9:12$

Answer 1

Find the equivalent ratios of $9:12$

We know, $9:12=\frac{9}{12}$

Converting the given ratio into simplest form of ratio.

Thus dividing both the numerator and denominator by $HCFof(9and12)=3$

$\frac{9÷3}{12÷3}=\frac{3}{4}$ [This is also an equivalent ratio]

To find the equivalent ratios multiply both the numerator and denominator by same number.

Therefore,

$\frac{3\times 2}{4\times 2}=\frac{6}{8}$

Therefore, $3:4$ and $6:8$ are two equivalent ratios for $9:12$
