The two ratios equivalent to 5:4 are:

  • 25:20
  • 10:8

How to find the equivalent ratios?

For a given ratio A:B, the equivalent ratios are all of these that can be defined by:

c*A : c*B

Where c is a scalar number different than zero.

The given ratio is:

5: 4

If we multiply both numbers by 5, we will get:

5*5 : 4*5

25: 20

So this is an equivalent ratio.

If we multiply both by 2, we will get:

2*5 : 2*4

10 : 8

So this is also an equivalent ratio.
