Question

Sal has 8 comic books and 4 detective books his sister says 2/3 of his books are comic books sal says that 8/12 of his books are comic books who is correct

Answer 1

Answer:

both : Sal or his sister

Step-by-step explanation:

comic books: 8

detective books: 4

total books: 12

so 8/12 books are comic books, so Sal was right

But, his sister could also be right because 8/12 and 2/3 are proportional

proportional: this when they have the same ratio or they are equivalent

2/3 times 4/4 = 8/12
