Na basketball game, archie made 3/5 of his shots. which numbered choice has a value that is the same as the ratio archie made in his game? 1) 3/8 2) 9/16 3) 8/20 4) 12/20

Basically you want to find an equivalent fraction for 3/5 in the answer choices.

12/20 equals 3/5 because 3/5 x 4/4 (or 1) = 12/20

4

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
