Question

In 1-4 find two ratios equivalent to the given ratio

1. 5/12
2. 14:32
3. 3 to 4
4. 7/8

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. we can multiply by 2 and 3

So:
`(10)/(24)` and
`(15)/(36)`

2. we can divide by 2 and multiply by 2

`(7)/(16)` and
`(28)/(64)`

3. we can multiply by 2 and 3

`(6)/(8)` and
`(9)/(12)`

4. we can multiply by 2 and 3

`(14)/(16)` and
`(21)/(24)`

Answer 2

Explanation:

To find two ratios equivalent, multiply or divide the numerator and denominator with same number.

1) 5/12

`(5*2)/(12*2)=(10)/(24)\\\\(5*3)/(12*3)=(15)/(36)`

2) 14 : 32

14÷2 : 32÷ 2 = 7: 16

14*2 : 32*2 = 28 : 64

3) 3 to 4

3*3 : 4*3 = 9 : 12

3:4 : 4*4 = 12 : 16

4) 7/8

`(7*2)/(8*2)=(14)/(16)\\\\(7*5)/(8*5)=(35)/(40)`
