Question

Choose the statement that correctly lists equivalent ratios.

A. 1 : 6 = 20 : 120 = 5 : 30
B. 1 : 6 = 4 : 18 = 6 : 36
C. 1 : 8 = 20 : 120 = 3 : 24
D. 1 : 8 = 3 : 32 = 5 : 48



Which ratio is equal to 3 : 5?
A. 12 : 25
B. 12 : 20
C. 15 : 20
D. 12 : 15

Answer 1

A. 1 : 6 = 20 : 120 = 5 : 30

B. 12 : 20

Explanation:

Equivalent ratios express the same relationship between numbers

In the first question, in answer A. 1 : 6 = 20 : 120 = 5 : 30, all ratios express the same relationship:

1 : 6=1/6=0.166

20 : 120=20/120=0.166

5 : 30= 5/30=0.166

In the second question, B. 12 : 20 is equal to 3 : 5:

12 : 20= 12 / 20= 0.6

3 : 5= 3 /5=0.6

Answer 2

1 : 6 = 20 : 120 = 5 : 30

3 : 5 = 12 : 20
