determine the ratio of 3 to 12 which is 3 Quart pot of chili with 12
combined ingredients of peppers and tomatoes.
This is my wording, and the ratio choices are:
peppers tomatoes
3: 2
2: 3
2: 4
3: 4
1: 6
I used this:
Divide both terms of the ratio by the greatest common factor (12/3=4, 36/6 = 6 )
4/6 = 2/3
State the ratio. (The ratio of 3 to 12 is 2:3)
The Correct answer is B
2:3
2 Peppers: 3 Tomatoes
My answer is incorrect,
What am I doing wrong?
