Question

Lisa and Tim make necklaces. Lisa uses 5 red beads for every 3 yellow beads Tim uses 9 red beads for every 6 yellow beads Is the ratio of red beads to yellow beads in lisas necklace equivalent to the ratio in tim's necklace?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Lisa: 5 red beads to 3 yellow beads

Tim: 9 red beads to 6 yellow beads

5/3 & 9/6

5/3(2/2) = 10/6

10/6 & 9/6

10/6 > 9/6

10/6 is in fact greater than 9/6. So the answer is no.
