Answer:
No, they are not.
Step-by-step explanation:
A ratio can be written as a fraction. So 3:5 is the same as 3/5 and 2:4 is the same as 2/4.
3/5 = 2/4
0.6 = 0.5 INCORRECT
As you can see, the both don't equal the same numbers, so they aren't equivalent.
The riddle given by Dr. Watson to Sherlock Holmes is:
217 is to 335
896 is to 543
345 is to ____
We need to find the missing number of the third pair of the riddle. This is a ratio and proportion problem.
217/ 335 = 896/ 543 = 345 / x
The value of x is 209.
To the nearest hundredth the correct answer is 4.05, but you're basically right
