Answer:

A. Yes

B. No

C. Yes

D. No

Explanation:

A and C has an equivalent ratio.

B and D do not.

2:5 x2 = 4:10

Because if we multiply 2 on both the 2 cups of fruit juice and the 5 cups of water we'll get

4:10 which is the ratio of A

If we divide both the 2 cups of fruit juice and the 5 cups of water with 2 we'll get...

2 ÷ 2 = 1

5 ÷ 2 = 2.5

1:2.5 is the ratio for C.

So both C and A are correct

The rest, B and D, are not equivalent.
