Answer:

These ratios are equivalent

Explanation:

We can put both ratios into fraction form:

For 3 cookies and 7 glasses of milk, the fraction will be
(3)/(7)

For 27 cookies and 63 glasses of milk, the fraction will be
(27)/(63)

Both fractions in decimal form will be equal to 0.428571, so they are equivalent.

Yes because If you times both of them by 9 then they are equivalent
