Math Problem Statement
Solution
The text from the image is:
a. Hallar la relación entre las edades de dos niños 12 y 18 años. b. Cite tres pares de números que están en la misma relación.
Let's start with part a:
To find the relationship between the ages of two children who are 12 and 18 years old, we can express this as a ratio. The ratio of their ages is:
Thus, the relationship between the ages of the two children is . This means for every 2 years the younger child has, the older child has 3 years.
Now, for part b, you need to cite three pairs of numbers that have the same ratio, . Some examples include:
- because
- because
- because

- What is the difference between a ratio and a proportion?
- How can you represent this ratio graphically?
Tip:
When simplifying ratios, divide both terms by their greatest common divisor (GCD). For and , the GCD is 6, so you get .
