Question

Find an equivalent ratio for the ratio 4 : 5.

400/500
10 : 12

Answer 1

If you multiply by 100 you will get the first answer, 400/500. Remember that in order for a ratio to be equivalent you should be able to multiply or divide (NOT add or subtract) by the same number to both numbers.

Answer 2

400/500

48 to 60

both are correct

Explanation:

4/ 5

Multiply top and bottom by 100

4*100/ 5* 100 =400/500

400:500

4/5

Multiply top and bottom by 12

4/5 * 12/12 = 48/60

we can rewrite as 48:60
