Question

Write 3 equivalent ratios for each ratio given.
6.25 to 1.25

Answer 1

3 equivalent ratios are:
`(62.5)/(12.5), (625)/(125), 5`

Explanation:

Ratio of a to b:

The ratio of a to b is given by:

`(a)/(b)`

Finding equivalent ratios:

To find equivalent ratios, we multiply or divide both a and b by the same value.

6.25 to 1.25

`(6.25)/(1.25)*(10)/(10) = (6.25*10)/(1.25*10) = (62.5)/(12.5)`

`(6.25)/(1.25)*(100)/(100) = (6.25*100)/(1.25*100) = (625)/(125)`

`\frac{(6.25)/(1.25)}{{(1.25)/(1.25)}} = 5`

3 equivalent ratios are:
`(62.5)/(12.5), (625)/(125), 5`
