Question

The ratio of the number of ice cubes used to the number of glasses of iced tea is 7 : 4. Write two equivalent ratios.

Answer 1

14 : 8

21 : 12

Explanation:

7 : 4

When calculating equivalent ratios, if you multiply the left number by something, you must also multiply the right number by the same number.

7 × 2 = 14

4 × 2 = 8

7 × 3 = 21

4 × 3 = 12

Two equivalent ratios:

14 : 8

21 : 12
