Math Problem Statement

Hallar la relación entre las edades de dos niños 12 y 18 años. Cite tres pares de números que están en la misma relación.

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:

1218=23\frac{12}{18} = \frac{2}{3}

Thus, the relationship between the ages of the two children is 2:32:3. 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, 2:32:3. Some examples include:

  1. (4,6)(4, 6) because 46=23\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}
  2. (6,9)(6, 9) because 69=23\frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}
  3. (8,12)(8, 12) because 812=23\frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}

Would you like any further explanations or details?

Five Related Questions:

  1. How do you simplify a ratio like 1218\frac{12}{18} step by step?
  2. Can a ratio be used to compare quantities other than ages?
  3. How can you find more pairs of numbers in the same ratio 2:32:3?
  4. What is the difference between a ratio and a proportion?
  5. How can you represent this ratio graphically?

Tip:

When simplifying ratios, divide both terms by their greatest common divisor (GCD). For 1212 and 1818, the GCD is 6, so you get 2:32:3.
