Can someone explain please.
An equivalent fraction is one in which the numerator and denominator are multiplied by the same number.
3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8
3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12
and so on
9/12

it s9/12
To determine the ratio equivalent to the number of baskets Betty made, we need to find a ratio in which the numerator and denominator have the same relationship as 3/4.
First, let's express 3/4 as a fraction with a common denominator: 3/4 = 9/12.
Now, let's look at each option:
A) 6/12: This ratio is not equivalent to 3/4 because the numerator is less than half of the denominator.
B) 9/12: This ratio is equivalent to 3/4 as we already found that 3/4 = 9/12.
C) 12/20: This ratio is not equivalent to 3/4 because the numerator is greater than the denominator.
D) 18/20: This ratio is not equivalent to 3/4 because the numerator and denominator have a bigger difference than 3/4.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) 9/12, as it is equivalent to the number of baskets Betty made.
