Q:

(02.01)The ratio of X's to O's is 12 over 9. . Use the image below to determine another ratio for X's to O's: Image with 12 Xs and 9 circles. The 12 Xs are broken down so that there are 4 Xs 3 times and the circles are broken down so that there are 3 circles 3 times. 3 over 4. 9 over 12. 4 over 3. 9 over 4.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:4 over 3 or 4 : 3.Step-by-step explanation:See the diagram attached. Now, The ratio of X's to O's is 12 : 9. Now, we have to determine another ration for X's to O's. The image will help us to do that. There are 12 numbers of X and that can be broken into 3 sets of X with 4 X in each set. Hence, 12 = 3 Γ— 4 Again, there are 9 numbers of O and that can be broken into 3 sets of O with 3 O in each set. Hence, 9 = 3 Γ— 3 Therefore, the ratio of X's to O's is 12 : 9 ≑ (3 Γ— 4) : (3 Γ— 3) ≑ 4 : 3 {Cancelling 3 from each term} (Answer)
