Answer: Yes</h3>
========================================================
Explanation
The ratio 8:10 simplifies to 4:5 when you divide both parts by 2.
The ratio 16:20 simplifies to 4:5 when you divide both parts by 4
Therefore the two ratios 8:10 and 16:20 are both equal 4:5, so they are equal to one another.
------------
Put another way,
(8 large)/(10 small) = (16 large)/(20 small)
8/10 = 16/20
8*20 = 10*16 ... cross multiply
160 = 160
We get a true equation, so the first equation is true as well.
This shows the ratios are equivalent.
-------------
Or you could have...
(8 large)/(16 large) = (10 small)/(20 small)
8/16 = 10/20
8*20 = 16*10
160 = 160
We get the same conclusion as before.
