Question

Write three ratios that are equal to 40/50

Answer 1

You can simplify the fraction to get an equivalent fraction. Or you could multiply a number to the top and bottom of the fraction and get an equivalent fraction.

I'll use 2, 3, and 4.


`(40)/(50) * (2)/(2)`



`(80)/(100)`



`(40)/(50) * (3)/(3)`



`(120)/(150)`



`(40)/(50) * (4)/(4)`


`(160)/(200)`

So, some equivalent fractions to 40/50 are 80/100, 120/150 and 160/200.

Answer 2

If 40:50 is our original ratio, we can both simplify and make multiples. Here are my examples:
80:100
20:25
4:5
I hope this helps!
