In one version of a trail mix, there are 3 cups of peanuts mixed with 2 cups of raisins.
In another version of trail mix, there are 4.5 cups of peanuts mixed with 3 cups of raisins. Are the ratios equivalent for the two mixes? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Yes they are.

The ratio of the first trail mix is 3/2

The ratio of the second trail mix is 4.5/3

We can multiply the ratio of the second per 10 and after simplify it to verify what is the ratio:

4.5/3 × 10/10 = 45/30

Simplify 45/30 by 3:

15/10 now simplify it by 5:

3/2

Both ratios are equal to 3/2, so they're equivalent
