Answer 1

The ratio of model sofa is 16:7
The ratio of real sofa is 80:35, simplest ratio is 6:7
They do have the same ratio.

Answer 2

Answer: Yes, both the ratio of the models to mention equivalent to the ratio of the real sofas dimension.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of model sofa = 16 inches

Depth of model sofa = 7 inches

So, Ratio of model sofa would be

`16:7`

Length of real sofa = 80 inches

Depth of real sofa = 35 inches

So, ratio of real sofa would be

`80:35\\\\=16:7`

Hence, Yes, both the ratio of the models to mention equivalent to the ratio of the real sofas dimension.
