The ratio 12 to 5 can be expressed as 12:5 or 12/5. This ratio indicates that for every 12 units of one quantity, there are 5 units of another quantity. Ratios are used to compare quantities and can be simplified by dividing both numbers by their greatest common factor, which in this case is 1.
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
A ratio is equivalent to 12 to 10 when both numbers can be divided by the same factor to simplify the ratio. In this case, both 12 and 10 can be divided by 2 to get 6 and 5 respectively. Therefore, the equivalent ratio to 12 to 10 is 6 to 5. This means that for every 6 of one quantity, there are 5 of the other quantity.
It is the same ratio as: 6, 24 and 10
