Question

C. 7:9 = 8:9
D. 3:4 = 9:12

Answer 1

D

Answer 2

Be sure to explain why @Auxuris

Answer 3

D because it has been reduced from 54:9

Answer 4

The answer is D, because 3:4 is the same as 9:12. If you multiply 3 and 4 by 3, you get 9 and 12 respectively. Therefore, 3:4 is the same as 9:12, a true proportion.

Answer 5

Yeah, a reduction.
