Answer 2

No, they are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find whether a given set of ratios or fractions are equivalent or not, we can find a number which, when multiplied to a fraction (in numerator and denominator both) gives the other fraction.

First expressing the ratio in terms of fractions.

$2:3 = \frac{2}{3}$

$3:2 = \frac{3}{2}$

On careful observation, we find that the first fraction is a proper fraction whereas the second is an improper fraction.

Hence by whichever number we multiply the first fraction, we would never obtain the second fraction.

Hence they are not equivalent.
