Question

How would i anser this select all the ratios equivalent to 4:6

Answer 1

If we try to simplify the ratio or try to multiply both by any number, we will get the equivalent ratio


Like :

$\frac{4}{6}$


Divide ( simplify ) by 2


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




Or multiply by any number,



$\frac{4}{6} \\ \\ \\ = > \frac{4 \times 2}{6 \times 2} \\ \\ \\ = > \frac{8}{12}$





From the example, 2 / 3 and 8 / 12 are equivalent ratios to 4 / 6
