Question

How are 14:6, 21:4, 35:15 equivalent to 7:3

Answer 1

Hi there,

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy!

In order to know if they are equivalent to 7:3, we need to divide them so that we can get their decimal number to make it easier to compare them.

so 7 divided by 3 = 2.3

In order for them to be equivalent to 7:3, they must equal the same thing

So let's divide the rest:

So 14 divided by 6 = 2.3 (equivalent)

21 divided by 4 = 5.25 (this is NOT equivalent)

35 divided by 15 = 2.3 (equivalent)

Thus, we can say:

14:6 and 35:15 are equivalent to 7:3 because when we divide them all, they all equal to 2.3

However, 35:15 is NOT equivalent to 7:3 because when we divide it, it didn't give us 2.3

Happy to help!

Answer 2

Answer:

remember when you use ":" that means / aka division!

14/6 = 7/3

14/2 = 7 and 6/2 = 3!

so, that makes 7/3,

21/4 does not equal 7/3.

35/15

35/5 = 7 and 15/5 = 3!
