There is an infinite number of equivalent ratios for 21:56, but easier ones are:

42:112 (because 21 * 2 = 42 and 56 * 2 = 112)
63:168 (because 21 * 3 = 63 and 56 * 3 = 168)
84:224 (because 21 * 4 = 84 and 56 * 4 = 224)

As, we can create equivalent ratios by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator of a given ratio by the same number.

To find the 3 equivalent ratio of 21:56 as follows:

by definition we have;

(1)


(21)/(56) * (2)/(2) =(21* 2)/(56 * 2) =(42)/(112)

(2)


(21)/(56) * (3)/(3) =(21* 3)/(56 * 3) =(63)/(168)

(3)


(21)/(56) * (4)/(4) =(21* 4)/(56 * 4) =(84)/(224)

Therefore, the three equivalent ratios for 21:56 are;


(42)/(112) ,
(63)/(168) ,and
(84)/(224)
