Question

Are the ratios 2:1 and 8:4 equivalent?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Just like with fractions, 8:4 can be reduced to 2:1

Answer 2

`\huge\textbf{Hey there!}`

`\large\text{2 : 1}\\\\\large\text{= 2}*\large\text{4 : }\large\text{1}*\large\text{4}\\\\\large\text{= 8 : 4}`

`\large\textsf{8 : 4}\\\\\large\textsf{= 8}/\large\textsf{4 : 4}/\large\textsf{4}\\\\\large\textsf{= 2 : 1}`

`\large\textbf{Thus, 2:1 \& 8:4 ARE equivalent.}`

`\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{YES!}}}\huge\checkmark`
