Which simplified ratio correctly compares 12 yard to 20 feet?
5 : 9
5 : 3
9 : 5
3 : 5

9 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantities must be in the same units of measure.

Using the conversion

1 yard = 3 feet, thus

12 yards = 12 × 3 = 36 feet, then

36 : 20 ← divide both parts of ratio by 4

= 9 : 5 ← in simplest form

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
