Question

Why 6:4 and 18:8 are not equivalent ratios

Answer 1

Answer:

False, 6:4 and 18:8 are equal ratios.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

6:4 ≠ 18:8

Explanation.

1. 6:4 = 6/4 = 3/2

2. 18:8= 18/8 = 9/4 = 3/2

Hence proved:

                                           6:4 = 18:8

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To see whether ratios are equivalent you would try to simplify them by multiplying the number and denominator by the same number in way that they don’t become decimals.

6:4 can be divided by 2 to make its simplest form of 3:2. However 18:8 can also be divided creating its simplest from of 9:4. Since 9:4 and 3:2 aren’t the same they aren’t equivalent ratios.
