Question

The Pokémon Squirtle is hard to catch. For every 2 pokeballs you throw, you 1 pointwill be able to catch one Squirtle. Are the two ratios equivalent? Explainyour answerPokéMoN2:16:3Are these tworatios equivalent?Your answer

Answer 1

For every 2 pokeballs, you will catch a Squirtle

2 : 1

Now,let's imagine we want to catch the double of Squirtles

We'll need 4 pokeballs to catch 2 Squirtles

4 : 2

Now, if we wanted to catch 3 Squirtles, we'll need the triple of pokeballs,

The triple of 2 is 6

Therefore, for every 6 pokeballs you throw, you'll catch 3 Squirtles

6 : 3

In conclusion, the ratios 2:1 and 6:3 are equivalents because they are proportional. We can say also that...

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)=(3)/(6) \\ (3)/(6)=(3*1)/(3*2) \end{gathered}`
