In this question , we have to simplify the given ratio, which is
12xy:3x
First we have to see which factor is common in numerator and denominator,
We can write 12 as 3 times 4, that is
[tex] 3*4x*y :3x [/tex]
So the common factor is 3x.
In the next step, we cancel out 3x
[tex] 4y:1 [/tex]
And that's the required simplified form .
