Which ratio is equivalent to 4 : 13? A. 8 : 17 B. 16 : 52 C. 12 : 33 D. 20 : 55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is 4 divided by 13?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The easiest way to find out which ratios are equal is by using division. For 4:13, turn that into 4/13; and find a ratio that equals 4/13. A regular calculator can come in handy here too, 4/13 is approximately 0.307,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We can rule out 8:17 already, since 8/17 is bigger than 4/13 by far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

22:55 can be simplified to 2/5, if you go by multiples of 11 here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/5 is 0.4, and that is not equal to 4/13 either.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C is 12:33, 3 can go easily into here, and it'll become 4/11; since 12/3 is 4 and 33/3 is 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Put 4/11 into your calulator, and you should get about 0.363; which is not equal to 0.307

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The only answer left is 16/52 that could be equal to 4/13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16/4 is 4, and 52/4 is 13, so that comes up with 4:13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so B is my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correcto

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
