Write −12 as a ratio of two integers.

Enter your answer as a reduced improper fraction.

Assuming there are no other parts,

the Whole = A + B is the denominator:

Whole = 3 + 9 = 12

Part A = 3 and Part B = 9 are numerators for each fraction.

The fractions are then:

3/12 and 9/12

Meaning:

Part A is 3/12 of the whole

Part B is 9/12 of the whole

Reducing the fractions, it is also true that:

Part A = 1/4 of the whole

Part B = 3/4 of the whole

-12/1

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to first turn it into a fraction. Since 12 is already a whole number, in fraction form it is the same as 12/1 or 12=12/1.

Since this is -12, to turn it into an improper fraction, all we'd need to do is write it out as our fraction equivalent, which is -12/1.

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
