Answer: 6 : 7 and 12 : 14

Step-by-step explanation: To find 2 different ratios that are equal to the ratio 24 : 28, we first rewrite the ratio 24 : 28 as the fraction 24/28.

Notice that we can find one of our equal ratios by simply writing this fraction in lowest terms. If we divide both the numerator and denominator of 24/28 by their greatest common factor of 4,

we get the equal ratio 6/7.

Now we can use 6/7 to find another equal ratio.

If we multiply both the numerator and denominator

of 6/7 by 2, we get the equal ratio 12/14.

Finally, remember to write these ratios using

the same form aa the original problem.

So 6 : 7 and 12 : 14 would be two possible answers.
