Question

The ratios 250 miles in 4 hours and 500 miles in 8 hours are equivalent.

Answer 1

Yes, they are equivalent

Explanation:

Case 1,

Distance = 250 miles

Time = 4 hours

Ratio = speed = distance/time

= 250 miles/4 hour

= 62.5 mph

Case 2,

Distance = 500 miles

Time = 8 hours

Ratio = speed = distance/time

= 500 miles/8 hour

= 62.5 mph

In both cases, the ratios 250 miles in 4 hours and 500 miles in 8 hours are equivalent.
