It is not the same because t<span>he ratio for 30 to 12 simplified is to 5 to 3. The ratio for 40 to 16 simplified is 5 to 2. Because 5 to 3 is not the same as 5 to 2, the ratios are not equivalent. You check this by multiplying 5 times 2 and 5 times 3. Once you do this, you will see that the products are not equivalent. Therefore, the ratios are not the same.</span>
True because if you are multiplying any number by a fraction smaller than 1, you are practically dividing it so the number become smaller. For example, multiplying by 1/2 is findind the half so its gonna get smaller.
