Question

2. Which of the following ratios is equivalent to 15/20? (1 point)

200 to 150
3:5
5/4
45 to 60

Answer 1

First, reduce 15/20 to its lowest term:

15/20 = 3/4

Now, reduce all the options to their lowest term:

a. 200 to 150 = 4/3

b. 3:5 = 3/5

c. 5/4 = 5/4

d. 45 to 60 = 3/4

Option d is the answer as 15/20 has the same value as 45 to 60

Answer 2

The correct answer is option 4.

Explanation:

We are given with ratio =
`(15)/(20)`.

On further educing the given ratio we get =
`(3)/(4)`

Now we will compare our ratio with given four option s:

1) 200 to 150

`=(200)/(150)=(4)/(3)`

`(3)/(4)\\eq (4)/(3)`

Not equivalent to given ratio.

2) 3 : 5

`3:5 =(3)/(5)`

`(3)/(4)\\eq (3)/(5)`

Not equivalent to given ratio.

3)5/4

`=(5)/(4)=(5)/(4)`

`(3)/(4)\\eq (5)/(4)`

Not equivalent to given ratio.

4) 45 to 60

`=(45)/(60)=(3)/(3)`

`(3)/(4)=(3)/(4)`

Equivalent to given ratio.
