<u>Given</u>:

The given ratio is 16 : 12

We need to determine three ratios that are equivalent to the given ratio.

<u>Option A</u>: 8:6

The given ratio is 16 : 12

Let us divide the given ratio 16 : 12 by 2.

Thus, we have;

8:6

Hence, the expression 8:6 is equivalent to 16 : 12

Thus, Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Option B</u>: 32:24

The number 32 goes by 16 in 2 times and the number 24 goes by 12 in 2 times.

Thus, multiplying the ratio 16 : 12 by 2, we get;

32:24

Thus, the expression 32:24 is equivalent to 16 : 12

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

<u>Option C</u>: 4:3

Let us divide the given ratio 16 : 12 by 4.

Thus, we have;

4:3

Thus, the expression 4:3 is equivalent to 16 : 12

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

<u>Option D</u>: 12:8

The number 12 goes by 16 in \frac{3}{4} times and the number 8 goes by 12 in \frac{2}{3} times.

The ratios are multiplied by different numbers.

Thus, the expression 12:8 is not equivalent to 16 : 12

Hence, Option D is not the correct answer.

<u>Option E</u>: 24:16

The number 24 goes by 16 in 1.5 times and the number 16 goes by 12 in 0.75 times.

The ratios are multiplied by different numbers.

Thus, the expression 24:16 is not equivalent to 16 : 12

Hence, Option E is not the correct answer.

Therefore, the equivalent ratios are Option A, B and C

Which of the following numbers is proportional to 84/108?
lara [203]

Proportional numbers are numbers with the same equivalent ratio

98/126 is proportional to 84/108

The number is given as:

Number = \frac{84}{108}

Reduce fraction to the lowest term

Number = \frac{7}{9}

Reduce 86/110 to the lowest term

Number = \frac{86}{110}

Divide by 2/2

Number = \frac{43}{55}

43/55 is not equivalent to 7/9

Reduce 98/126 to the lowest term

Number = \frac{98}{126}

Divide by 14/14

Number = \frac{7}{9}

7/9 is equivalent to 7/9.

Hence, 98/126 is proportional to 84/108
