Find the missing number in this pair of equivalent ratios.
_:12 : 36 and 8 : 4 : 12
is fake
Yup its fake
To find the missing number in a pair of equivalent ratios, we need to make sure that the ratios on both sides are equal.
In the first ratio, _ : 12 : 36, we can see that the second number in the ratio (12) is the same as the first number in the second ratio (8).
So, to make the ratios equivalent, we need to find the missing number, denoted by _, which can be calculated by multiplying the two numbers that are already known to be equal.
Therefore, _ can be found by multiplying 8 and 36, which gives us 288.
So, the missing number in the pair of equivalent ratios is 288.
It looks like 8 was divided by 2 to get 4 then multiplied by 3 to get 12
Some number must have been divided by 2 to get 12 then multiplied by 3 to get 36.
I think that a number divided by 2 = 12
Must be 24.
