Question

Are these ratios equivalent?

18 children : 12 adults
16 children : 20 adults
yes
no

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

If product of mean = product of extreme, then ratios are equivalent.

18 : 12 :: 16:20

Product of mean = 12 * 16 = 192

Product of extreme = 18 * 20 = 360

Not equivalent ratios
