Here we are given the ratio 12 / 21.

In order to find its equivalent ratio with lower terms , we have to find common factor of 12 and 21 by which we can divide both the numbers.

So factors of 12 are 1, 2 ,3, 4.

Factors of 21 are 1, 3, 7.

So our common factor is 3 here.

dividing both numerator and denominator by 3 we have:

$\frac{12/3}{21/3}$

12 divided by 3 equals 4 and 21 divided by 3 equals 7.

So our new ratio becomes 4/7

Find factors of 12 and 21

Divide 3 from both numerator and denominator.

(12/21)/(3/3) = 4/7

4/7 is your ratio equivalent to 12/21

hope this helps

Which statement is true?

love history [14]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The second option,

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Discarding each given option in order to find the correct one, we have:

<h2>First option,</h2>

$\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[2m]{xy}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[m]{xy}$

<h2>Second option,</h2>

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

The statement is true, we can prove it by using the following properties of exponents:

$(a^{b})^{c}=a^{bc}$

$\sqrt[n]{x^{m} }=x^{\frac{m}{n} }$

We are given the expression:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}$

So, applying the properties, we have:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=(x^{\frac{a}{m}})^{b}=x^{\frac{ab}{m}}\\\\x^{\frac{ab}{m}}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Hence,

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

<h2>Third option,</h2>

$a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=ab\sqrt[n]{x}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=(a+b)\sqrt[n]{x}$

<h2>Fourth option,</h2>

$\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=m\sqrt{xy}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=\sqrt[m]{\frac{x}{y} }$

Hence, the answer is, the statement that is true is the second statement:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Have a nice day!
