Oh, dude, the ratio 12 to 5 means for every 12 of something, there are 5 of something else. It's like saying for every 12 slices of Pizza, there are 5 slices of cake. So, if you're at a party with that ratio, you better hope you like pizza more than cake!
Well, darling, the ratio 12 to 5 simply means that for every 12 parts of something, there are 5 parts of another thing. It's like comparing apples to Oranges, but with numbers. Mathematically speaking, that's all there is to it.
It is 12/20 = 3/5.
3:5:1
The ratio of 15 boys to 12 girls can be simplified by finding the greatest common divisor of 15 and 12, which is 3. Dividing both numbers by 3 gives us a ratio of 5 boys to 4 girls. This means for every 5 boys, there are 4 girls in the group.
It is: 5/12 of 12 = 5
6 : 10 = 12 : 20 OR 3 : 5
12/10 = 6/5 The ratio is 6:5
The ratio is 4:5
The ratio of 15 over 12 is 5:4.
60:12 is the same ratio as 5:1
No, it is not equivalent. Think of it this way. If you had £12 and I had £5 then you would have money in the ratio of 12 to 5 compared to me. If you then only had £5 and I had £17 (which represents the new ratio of 5 to 17) you would not agree that this was equivalent as a proportion (you would rightly feel that you had lost out)!
It is 12/20 = 3/5.
5/4
It is: 12 to 5
It is 5 inches to 12, exactly as in the question. This ratio cannot be simplified since there are no units given for 12.
It is the same ratio as: 6, 24 and 10
12 to 10
15:12 is the same as 5:4 ; [you divide both sides by 3]
