The ratio of lions to tigers at the Metropolitan Zoo is 12 to 8. Which ratio is equivalent to 12 to 8? A.6 to 3 b.8 to 12 c.15 to 10 d.24 to 18

c.15 to 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The ration 12 to 8 means that for every 12 lions there are 8 tigers in the zoo.

Ratios have the quality of conservate their meaning when both values in the ratio are multiplied or divided by the same number.

For example:

a ratio of 2 to 4 is the same as a ratio of 3 to 6 (both values are multiplied by 1.5 (or in fraction by 3/2) ).

in the same way that the ratio 9 to 3 is the same as 3 to 1 (divide both values by 3).

In this case we are looking for an equivalent ratio to the 12 to 8 ratio, the answer is

c.15 to 10

because this results from multiplying the two original values by 1.25 or, in fraction, by 5/4. You can see this becase

12*1.25 = 15

and

8*1.25 = 10

we get that when we multiply the ratio 12 to 8 by 1.5 the equivalent ratio is option C.

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.
