Question

Which of the following ratios is equivalent to 1:2 ? A . 2/4 B. 3/5 C . 4/6

Answer 1

The ratio 1:2 can be written in fraction form as

`(1)/(2)`

we can multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number and the result will be the same, for instance,

`(1)/(2)=(1)/(2)*(2)/(2)=(2)/(4)`

then, 1/2 is equal to 2/4.

However, 3/5 and 4/6 are not equal to 1/2 because there is no a number which gives us 3/5 and 4/6 from 1/2. Then, the answer is option A
