Question

HURRY PLEASE When 5 and 6 are multiplied by the same factor, how do the ratios compare to the ratio 5:6? The ratios are equivalent to 5:6. The ratios are equivalent to 6:5. The ratios are greater than 5:6, as the factors become greater. The ratios are greater than 6:5, as the factors become greater.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratios are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply both 5 and 6, the ratio stays the same.

5:6 = 10:12 = 15:18 = 20:24 etc.

You can try this by dividing the larger number by the smaller number. You'll always get 1.2 as the "relationship", or ratio, is preserved.

24/20 = 1.2

15/18 = 1.2

10/12 = 1.2

6/5 = 1.2
