At a dinner party, two desserts are being served. Six of the guests choose cheesecake, and eight of the guests choose apple pie.
Modify your diagram f. rom #1 to show that the ratio 6:8 is equivalent to 3:4. Upload your modified diagram AND use complete sentences to explain why it shows that 6:8 and 3:4 are equivalent ratios.
When six guests choose cheesecake and eight choose apple pie, the ratio is 6:8. If we use the same prompt but change 6 to 3 and change 8 to 4, the ratio becomes 3:4 with the pie graph looking exactly the same.
6:8 comes out to a total of 14 people
and 3:4 comes out to a total of 7 people
The two ratios are equivalent due to the graphs looking exactly the same as well as that 14 is double of 7.
