Answer:
No, Kareem is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Kareem says that the ratio of [tex]\frac{4}{1}=\frac{12}{9}[/tex] because 4 + 8 = 12 and 1 + 8 = 9
But the correct way to rewrite the ratio 4 : 1 is,
[tex]\frac{4}{1}=\frac{4\times 3}{1\times 3}[/tex]
Which becomes as,
[tex]\frac{4}{1}=\frac{12}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, Kareem is not correct.
Correct ratio equivalent to 4 : 1 is 12 : 3.
