Cai says you can divide both quantities in a ratio by the same non-zero number to find an equivalent ratio. Explain why cai is correct.

In this case, Cai is right.

Basically, Cai is right because a ratio is a fraction. So, if you divide the numerator and denomirator by the same number, the fraction won't be changed, in that case you would get an equivalent fraction.

For example, if we have 4/6, and we divide both numbers by 2, we get 2/3, these operations are valid because you are dividing both numbers by the same (2).
