Are the ratios 7:6 and 17:12 equivalent?
yes
no

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

A ratio can be written as a fraction:

7:6 can be written as 7/6, and 17:12 can be written as 17/12.

Now multiply the numerator and denominator of 7/6 by 2 to get an equivalent fraction and ratio: 14/12

14/12 is not equal to 17/12, so

7:6 and 17:12 are not equivalent

Answer: no
