Question

Determine if each pair of ratios or rates is equivalent. Explain your reasoning. 288 miles on 12 gallons of fuel; 240 miles 10 gallons of fuel

Answer 1

Yes they are equivalent. This is because if you simplify each fraction : 288/12 and 240/10 they both equal 24.
$\frac{288}{12} = 24$
$\frac{240}{10} = 24$
