Final answer:

1/6 is equivalent to 5/30. The two ratios are equivalent and therefore, the answer is Equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To check if

1/6

is equivalent to

5/30

, we can create a table of equivalent ratios:

Ratio 1Ratio 21/65/302/1210/603/1815/904/2420/1205/3025/150

From this table, we can see that as we multiply the numerator and the denominator of the first ratio by the same number, we get the equivalent ratios. Therefore, Levi is correct and

1/6

is equivalent to

5/30

. Therefore, the answer is

Equivalent
