Answer each question using ratios.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) 42:28

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's get 12:18 simplified to make it easier to compare:

12:18 -> 4:6 - > 2:3

Now let's check it against all the options:

A) 20:30 -> 2:3 and 2:3 = 2:3

Not our answer as it is congruent (equal too, the same as, etc)

B) We can see that the first number is larger than the second number, so without doing too much math we can see this is our answer!

42:28

(it simplifes to 6:4 -> 3:2)

(we do not have to do the following as we already have an answer, but here is the math)

C) 4:6

4:6 ->

2:3 = 2:3

D) 2:3

2:3 = 2:3
