Write the ratio 12:36 as an equivalent ratio of x:3.(1 point)
To find the equivalent ratio of x:3, we need to find the value of x. We can do this by setting up a proportion:
12/36 = x/3
To solve for x, we cross multiply:
36x = 12*3
36x = 36
x = 1
Therefore, the equivalent ratio of 12:36 as x:3 is 1:3.
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.
To find the equivalent ratio of x:3, we need to find the value of x. We can do this by setting up a proportion:
12/36 = x/3
Simplifying the left side:
1/3 = x/3
Since the denominators are the same, we can conclude that x = 1.
Therefore, the equivalent ratio of 12:36 as x:3 is 1:3.
To find the equivalent ratio of 12:36 as x:3, we can set up a proportion.
The proportion can be written as:
12/36 = x/3
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
12 * 3 = 36 * x
36 = 36x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 36:
36/36 = 36x/36
1 = x
Therefore, the equivalent ratio of 12:36 as x:3 is 1:3.
To find an equivalent ratio of x:3, we need to find a value for x that maintains the same ratio as 12:36.
To do this, we can set up a proportion with the given ratio and the unknown ratio:
12/36 = x/3
We can now cross multiply:
12 * 3 = 36 * x
36 = 36x
Next, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 36:
36/36 = x/36
1 = x/36
Finally, we can simplify the ratio by multiplying both sides by 36 to get:
36 * 1 = x
36 = x
Therefore, the equivalent ratio of 12:36 as x:3 is 36:3.
