Which ratio forms a proportion with six over nine? nine over six eight over twelve seven over ten three-halves

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

these are also all fractions

MARC (marc_d):

6/9 can be simplified

Mehek (mehek14):

Alright, first I'll convert to fraction \(\dfrac{9}{6}\\ \dfrac{8}{12}\\ \dfrac{7}{10} \\ \) Hw is 3-halves written?

Mehek (mehek14):

How*

MARC (marc_d):

by multiplying by 3

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

3 halves is 3/2 in a fraction tho

Mehek (mehek14):

Ok Which answer choice do you think is the answer?

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

its 3/2 correct?

Mehek (mehek14):

No

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

or actually my mistake its actually B, 8/12

MARC (marc_d):

\[\frac{ 6 }{ 9 }=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\neq \frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\]

Mehek (mehek14):

Let's try by cross multiplication \(\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{8}{12}\) 6 x 12 = 72 9 x 8 = 72 72 = 72

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

ok i see my mistake now.
