Question

2. Which of the following ratios is equivalent to 15/20? (1 point)

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with ratio = $\frac{15}{20}$.

On further educing the given ratio we get = $\frac{3}{4}$

Now we will compare our ratio with given four option s:

1) 200 to 150

$=\frac{200}{150}=\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{3}{4}\neq \frac{4}{3}$

Not equivalent  to given ratio.

2) 3 : 5

$3:5 =\frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{3}{4}\neq \frac{3}{5}$

Not equivalent  to given ratio.

3)5/4

$=\frac{5}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$

$\frac{3}{4}\neq \frac{5}{4}$

Not equivalent to given ratio.

4) 45 to 60

$=\frac{45}{60}=\frac{3}{3}$

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

Equivalent to given ratio.

Answer 2

First, reduce 15/20 to its lowest term:

15/20 = 3/4

Now, reduce all the options to their lowest term:

a. 200 to 150 = 4/3

b. 3:5 = 3/5

c. 5/4 = 5/4

d. 45 to 60 = 3/4

Option d is the answer as 15/20 has the same value as 45 to 60
