Answer:

No

Explanation:

We are given that ratios 16:14 and 64:60

We have to find the given ratios are equivalent

We know that when two ratios a:band c:d are equivalent

Then
a* d=b* c

We have a=16 , b=14 ,c=64 and d=60

Product of 16 and 60=
16* 60=960

Product of 14 and 64=
14* 64=896


960\\eq 896

Hence, given ratios are not equivalent.

No because 16 is divisible to 64 , 4 times. 14 does not go into 60 4 times, in which it would have to be to be an equivalent ratio.
