Answer:

Equivalent ratios are ratios that can be simplified to the same value. They can also be written as fractions. To find some equivalent ratios to 16:6, or 16/6 we can multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number.

1. First, let's try dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2. We will get 8/3, or 8:3. This is one equivalent ratio.

2. Next, let's try multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 2. We will get 32/12, or 32:12. This is another equivalent ratio.

3. Let's do one more, this time we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10. We will get 160/60, or 160:60. This is another equivalent ratio.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

If you multiply or divide both sides of the ratio by the same number you will get an equivalent ratio

Examples:

16:6 x 2 = 32:12

16:6 x3 = 48:18

16:6 ÷ 2 = 8:3 all are equivalent
