Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying or dividing each part of the ratio gives an equivalent ratio
Given
8 : 20 ← divide both parts by 2
= 4 : 10 ← divide both parts by 2
= 2 : 5 ← ratio in simplest form
Multiply both parts by 2
8 : 20 = 16 : 40
4 : 10, 2 : 5, 16: 40 ← are possible equivalent ratios
answer: positive
for example: -2 x -2 x -2 x-2
=4 x -2 x -2
=-8 x -2
=positive 16
