Answer:

Explanation:

Find a common denominator or greatest common factor. 63 and 27 are both multiples of 9. When you divide each by 9 you get 7:3. 14 and 6 are both multiples of 2. When you divide each by 2 you get 7:3 again. So these ratios are equivalent.

Start with any set of numbers. Multiply them each by the same factor and the new set will be an equivalent ratio.
