Question

Are these equivalent ratios? 6:14 and 7:3

Answer 1

Not equivalent fraction

Because

`\begin{gathered} \frac{6}{14\text{ }}\text{ = }(3)/(7) \\ \\ \sin ce\text{ }(3)/(7)\text{ }\\e\text{ }(7)/(3) \\ (3)/(7)\text{ is not equal to 7/3 , hence, the two fractions are not equivalent.} \end{gathered}`

Equivalrnt fractions can be defined as fractions with different numerators and denominators that represent the same value.

For example

2/3 is equivalent to 6/9

Because 6/9 is the same as 2/3. If you divide both 6 and 9 by 3 the result will be 2/3

7/9 is equivalent ro 14/18 because if you divide both 14 and 18 by 2, you will get 7/9.

You divide by common factor of both numbers at numerator and denominator.

Or

You divide with their HCF, highest common factor.
