Tell whether the following statement is always, sometimes, or never true for numbers greater than zero. Explain. In equivalent ratios, if the numerator of the first ratio is greater than the denominator of the first ratio, then the numerator of the second ratio is greater than the denominator of the second ratio.

Answer

The statement is always true.

Step-by-step explanation

Since equivalent ratios reduce to essentially the same fundamental ratios, if the numerator of one of the ratios is greater than its denominator, then the numerator of each of the equivalent ratios must be greater than each of their corresponding denominators too.

So, this statement is always true!

Hope this Helps!!!
