Question

Is the ratio 5:6 equivalent to 3:4​

Answer 1

No!

Explanation:

This question is essentially asking if
`(5)/(6)` =
`(3)/(4)`

Well we can easily tell that it doesn't, but if we want to check, we can do cross multiplication.

So we are trying to find out if 5(4) = 3(6).

5(4) = 20 and 3(6) = 18.

`20 \\eq 18` so
`5:6 \\eq 3:4`

They are not equal!

Answer 2

No, because the numbers in the given ratio must be multiplied by the same number.
