Know the Answer?

Louis Whitehead · Answer 1

Yes they are because if you multiply 2*6 it will give you the same ratio.

Saul Mcmahon · Answer 2

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, they are, because if you multiply 2*6=12 and 3*6=18, so here we multiplied both 2 and 3 by the same number (6) and we got the same result 12:18. This method also works with fractions.
