Question

Find the number that makes the ratio equivalent to 1:6.

5:

Answer 1

5:30

Explanation:

For 2 ratios to be equivalent they must be proportionate and have the same relationship. In the first ratio, the first number is 1, while in the second it is 5. This means the ratio was multiplied by 5. For the ratios to stay proportionate the second number must also be multiplied by 5. Since 6*5=30 the new ratio is 5:30
