Question

What different ratio that is equivalent to 4:5

Answer 1

8:10

Explanation:

To keep 4:5 an equivalent ratio, you must multiply both sides by the same quantity.

An equivalent ratio can be 8:10 which is 4x2 : 5x2

Another example is 20:25 which is 4x5 : 5x5

It is NOT equivalent to 8:15 which is 4x2 : 5x3 because the ratio is not multiplied by the same number on both sides.

Basically, 4:5 = 4x:5x in which x is a non-zero variable
