Prove that 3:8 is equivalent to 12:32

Use the description of equivalent ratios to support your answer

Prove that 3:8 is equivalent to 12:32: I'd suggest that you write the ratio 12:32 as 12 32 and then factor both the 12 and the 32. Write out the factors: 12 32 = (?) (?) (?) (?) and then reduce this last result by cancelling out the common factor. 3 x 4 = 12

8 x 4 = 32

It is equivalent. They both multiplied by four the get that ratio.
