Question

Are the ratios 2:3 and 8:12 equivalent ratios? Justify your answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out whether the ratios are equivalent, we will simplify the ratios to their lowest forms

$\frac{2}{ 3}\tt{ \:is \:already \:simplified}$

$\frac{8}{12} = \frac{2*4}{3*4}\\\\\tt{The \: simplified \: form \:of \:\frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}}$

$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{3}\\\\\tt{Hence,\: the\: \:ratios \:\:are\:\: equivalent}$
