Question

Is 13:15 and 30:26 a pair of equivalent ratios and why?

Answer 1

Given:

The two ratios are 13:15 and 30:26.

To find:

Whether the given ratios are equivalent or not.

Solution:

Two ratios are equivalent if the values of the ratio are equal after simplification.

`13:15=(13)/(15)`

And,

`30:26=(30)/(26)`

`30:26=(15)/(13)`

`30:26=15:13`

The first ratio is 13:15 and the value of second ratio after simplification is 15:13 both ratios are different, so,

`(13)/(15)\\eq (30)/(26)`

Therefore, the required answer is "No", the given ratios are not a pair of equivalent ratios.
