Question

Mr. Bojorquez has 32 homework papers and 28 tests to return. Ms. Williams has 104 homework papers and 98 tests to return. Find each teachers ratio of homework papers to the number of tests they have to return. Are the ratios equivalent?

Answer 1

They are not equivalent ratios

Explanation:

The ratio for Ms. Bojorquez is 32:28 which simplified is 8:7

The ratio for Ms. William is 104:98 which simplified is 52:49

Both these ratios cannot be simplified any further an after simplifying the ration, both are not equivalent therefore these are not equivalent ratios.
