Question

Explain 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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratios are 6:4 and 18:8

This is not clear from the given ratios that they are equivalent.

We further simplify these ratios.

6 : 4 = $\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$

18 : 8 = $\frac{18}{8}=\frac{9}{4}$

Since these fractions are not equal therefore, these ratios can't be equivalent.
