Question

Is 16:14 ratios equivalent to 64:60

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
