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.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
