Question

Find two ratios equivalent to the ratio in exercise 1 8:5 4:19 6:23

Answer 1

To find equivalent ratios just factor the same number to both numerator and denominator. I will make the ratios simple by multiplying 2/2 and 3/3 to the originals. To check, set as fraction and cross multiply and you should have the same number. I will show you how to check by doing it to the first ratio.

8:5 16:10 24:15

Check:
8/5 = 16/10
(8)(10)=(5)(16)
80=80

8/5=24/15
(8)(15)=(5)(24)
120=120

4:19 8:38 12:57

6:23 12:46 18:69
