Question

What is equivalent ratio of 5:8:4 and explain how u got it

Answer 1

this is example

So, first we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 8/18

= (8 × 2)/(18 × 2)

= 16/36

= 16 : 36 (one equivalent ratio),

So, 16 : 36 is an equivalent ratio of 8 : 18.

Now we will find another equivalent ratio of 8 : 18 by using division.

Similarly, first we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 8/18

= (8 ÷ 2)/(18 ÷ 2)

= 4/9

= 4 : 9 (another equivalent ratio)

So, 4 : 9 is an equivalent ratio of 8 : 18.

Therefore, the two equivalent ratios of 8 : 18 are 16 : 36 and 4 : 9.

2. Frame two equivalent ratios of 4 : 5.

Solution:

To find two equivalent ratios of 4 : 5 we need to apply multiplication method only to get the answer in integer form.

First we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 4/5

= (4 × 2)/(5 × 2)

= 8/10

= 8 : 10 is one equivalent ratio,

Similarly again, we need to write the given ratio 4 : 5 as fraction to get another equivalent ratio;

= 4/5

= (4 × 3)/(5 × 3)

= 12/15 is another equivalent ratio

Therefore, the two equivalent ratios of 4 : 5 are 8 : 10 and 12 : 15.

Note: In this question we can’t apply division method to get the answer in integer form because the G.C.F. of 4 and 5 is 1. That means, 4 and 5 cannot be divisible by any other number except 1.
