Question

4. Compare the following ratios:
(a) 3: 10 and 2 : 15​

Answer 1

First we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 4/5

= (4 × 2)/(5 × 2)

= 8/10

= 8 : 10 is one equivalent ratio,

Similarly again, we need to write the given ratio 4 : 5 as fraction to get another equivalent ratio;

= 4/5

= (4 × 3)/(5 × 3)

= 12/15 is another equivalent ratio

Therefore, the two equivalent ratios of 4 : 5 are 8 : 10 and 12 : 15.
