4/13

goginal · Answer

the answer is 4/13 because the ratio is 12/39 and you find a number that goes into both 12 and 39 so you can simplify 12/39 and the number 3 can go into 12 and 39 so you divide 39 by 3 which is 13 and you also divide 12 by 3 which is 4 so your answer is 12/39 and 4/13 in simplest form
