Question

Are 3:5 and 5:3 equal ratios? If yes, then why and If no then why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

No, 3:5 and 5:3 are not equal ratios.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two ratios 3:5 and 5:3

Here, the ratios can be expressed in fractions

That is

$3:5=\frac{3}{5} \\\\= 0.6$

And

$5:3=\frac{5}{3} \\\\=1.66$

So the two values are not equal.

So 3:5 and 5:3 are not equal ratios
