Answer:

No they are not equivalent

Explanation:

Recall 3:5 ratio is the same as 3/8 or 5/8

ratio has to do with the sum of the two values

therefore; 3:5

3+5=8

and to know if it's equivalent we say

the first value divided by the total value gotten

which is 3/8

then apply it in the second value which is 5/8

Dividing it through you will not get 1/3
