Hi there, let me help you!

  • The meaning of "equivalent" is equal.
  • So, we need to find 3 ratios that are equal to the ratio
    \displaystyle(4)/(7) (also written as 4:7)
  • First, let's multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2:
  • 4*2:7*2=8:14
  • 4:7 and 8:14 are equivalent.
  • We can also multiply the top & bottom of the new ratio by 2:
  • 16:28
  • We could go on and on, because there are infinitely many ratios that are equivalent to 4:7.
  • Here are just 3 of them:
  • 8:14, `16:28, 32:56

Hope it helps! :)
