Question

14/2 three equivalent ratios

Answer 1

Three equivalent ratios of
`(14)/(2)` are
`(7)/(1)`,
`(21)/(3)` and
`(28)/(8)`.

Explanation:

We are given a fraction
`(14)/(2)`.

We need to find the three equivalent ratios/fractions of
`(14)/(2)`.

The common factor of 14 and 2 is 2.

So, dividing top and bottom by 2, we get

14÷2 = 7 and 2÷2 that is
`(7)/(1)`.

Multiplying
`(7)/(1)` fraction by a common number 3 in top and bottom, we get

7 × 3 = 21

1 × 3 = 6

So, we get another equivalent fraction
`(21)/(6)`.

Multiplying
`(7)/(1)` fraction by a common number 3 in top and bottom, we get

7 × 4 = 28

1 × 4 = 4

So, we get another equivalent fraction
`(28)/(4)`.

Therefore, three equivalent ratios of
`(14)/(2)` are
`(7)/(1)`,
`(21)/(3)` and
`(28)/(4)`.
