Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Try to simplify the larger terms, when simplified look for the ratio that matches its simplified form.
For example:
in letter B the given is 6/7 and 36/42, the larger term is 36/42. Look for its GCF (Greatest Common Factor) to simplify the term. The GCF for 36/42 is 6, why? Simply because you can divide both numbers 36 and 42 by 6 resulting to..
36 ÷ 6 = 6
42 ÷ 6 = 7
therefore 6/7 is proportion to 36/42.
