Question

The ratio of boys and girls in a schools soccer club is 3 to 5. The ratio of boys and girls in the schools chess club is 13 to 15. Is the ratio of boys to girls in the soccer club equivalent to the ratio of boys to girls in the chess club?

Answer 1

No they are not equivalent because you can not reduce 13 any further because it is a prime number and if you multiply 3 by 3 and 5 by 3 you would get 9:15 as the equivalent ratio.
