Show work please
Ok
D. 21 to 140
To determine which ratio is equivalent to 3/20, we can simplify the fraction 3/20.
To do this, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (3) and denominator (20). In this case, the GCD of 3 and 20 is 1.
Then, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD (1) to simplify the fraction.
So, 3/20 simplifies to 3/20, meaning the ratio itself remains unchanged.
Now, let's check the options:
a) 5 to 100
This ratio can be simplified as 1/20, which is not equivalent to 3/20.
b) 100 to 5
This ratio can be simplified as 20/1, which is not equivalent to 3/20.
c) 140 to 21
This ratio can be simplified as 20/3, which is not equivalent to 3/20.
d) 21 to 140
This ratio can be simplified as 3/20, which is equivalent to the given fraction.
Therefore, your selection of d) 21 to 140 as the ratio equivalent to 3/20 is correct.
