Answer 1

Equivalent ratios are those that represent the same portion. If two ratios are equivalent, then one can be obtained from the other by multiplying both the antecedent and the consequent by the same number.

In question 2, the first ratio is 7:1, and the second is 2:5.

Notice that, to obtain "5" in the second ratio, we need to multiply the "1", in the first ratio, by 5.

If we multiply the "7" also by 5, we obtain 35. So, the equivalent ratio to 7:1 that has a consequent term equal to "5" is:

35:5

In this case, we can also notice that they are not equivalent ratios by observing that 7 is greater than 1, while 2 is smaller than 5.

Therefore, the answer is False.
