Explanation:

Step1: Recall equivalent ratios rule

Two ratios \(a:b\) and \(c:d\) are equivalent if \(a\times d = b\times c\).

Step2: Apply the rule to given ratios

Given ratios \(5:12\) and \(1:12\). Here, \(a = 5\), \(b = 12\), \(c = 1\), \(d = 12\).
Calculate \(a\times d=5\times12 = 60\) and \(b\times c = 12\times1=12\).
Since \(60
eq12\), the ratios are not equivalent.

Answer:

no
