B) 5 gallons : 8 quarts

C) 800 centimeters: 2 meters

A. 4 yards = 12 ft

9 ft : 12 ft = 3:4

B. 5 gallons = 20 quarts

C. 2 meters = 200 cm

800 cm : 200 cm = 4:1

Answers:

A) 3:4

B) 5:2

C) 4:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 4 yards to feet.

1 yard = 3 feet

4 yards = 12 feet

9 feet : 12 feet

Simplify the ratio.

9/3 : 12/3

3 feet : 4 feet

3 : 4

Convert 8 quarts to gallons.

1 quart = 0.25 gallons

8 quarts = 2 gallons

5 gallons : 2 gallons

5 : 2

Convert 2 meters into centimeters.

1 meter = 100 centimeters

2 meters = 200 centimeters

800 centimeters : 200 centimeters

Simplify the ratio.

4 : 1
