Answer 2

The question says, 12 yards to 20 feet. First let's convert the units. One yard is equal to 3 feet. So if we multiply, \[3 * 12 = 36 ~feet\] Now we will, divide 36 feet to 20 feet and we'll simplify. \[\left(\begin{matrix}36 \\ 20\end{matrix}\right)\] both 36 and 20 are divisible by 4, that means 4 is their common factor. We can simplify by that. \[\left(\begin{matrix}36 \\ 20\end{matrix}\right) = \left(\begin{matrix}4*9 \\ 4*5\end{matrix}\right) = 1 * \left(\begin{matrix}9 \\ 5\end{matrix}\right) = \left(\begin{matrix}9 \\ 5\end{matrix}\right)\]
The answer is D. 9:5

Answer 8

All I did was Simplify

Answer 9

\[\left(\begin{matrix}4*9 \\ 4*5\end{matrix}\right) = 4/4 * 9/5 = 9/5\]
