Hello there, I would love if you could help me out with this.Question:  ↓ In Alyssa's School, 4 out of 10 students chose basketball as a sport they like to watch, and 3 out of 5 students chose football. is the ratio of students who chose basketball (4 to 10) equivalent to the ratio of students who chose football 3 to 5

The answer is no

Expalnation:

4 out 10 = 4/10 = 2/5 or 2:5

3 out of 5 = 3/5 or 3 : 5

2:5 is never equivalent to 3:5, hence the answer is no
