Question

How do you know that your new ratio equivalent to 4 : 6? Explain

Answer 1

So, first we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 8/18

= (8 × 2)/(18 × 2)

= 16/36

= 16 : 36 (one equivalent ratio),

So, 16 : 36 is an equivalent ratio of 8 : 18.

Now we will find another equivalent ratio of 8 : 18 by using division.

Similarly, first we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 8/18

= (8 ÷ 2)/(18 ÷ 2)

= 4/6

= 4 : 6 (another equivalent ratio)

So, 4 : 6 is an equivalent ratio of 8 : 18.

Therefore, the two equivalent ratios of 8 : 18 are 16 : 36 and 4 : 6
