Question

The ratio of teachers to students is 1 to 26. Find an equivalent ratio.

a. 52 to 2
b. 11 to 36
c. 26 to 1
d. 5 to 130

Answer 1

d. 5 to 130

if you divide 130 by 26, you get 5

if you divide 5 by 1 you get 5

if you multiply 26 by 5 you get 130

if you multiply 1 by 5 you get 5

therefore d is a equivalent ratio

Answer 2

d. 5 to 130

Explanation:

1 = 26

2= 52

3 = 78

4 = 104

5 = 130

I'm not the best at explaining but basically the ratio needs to stay in order, so the answer needs to stay in the same formation as in the question that's why A is incorrect, because it flops the 26 with the 1 in the opposite order. The same applies with the third answer, so it's D.
