Question

Are the ratios$1:2$ and $2:3$ equivalent?

Answer 1

As ratios are $1:2$ and $2:3$

To check this, we need to know whether $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{3}$

Firstly We have To make the Denominator equals so, $\frac{1\times 3}{2\times 3}=\frac{3}{6}$ and

Similarly, $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\times 2}{3\times 2}=\frac{4}{6}$

Now, as $\frac{3}{6}<\frac{4}{6}$

Hence the ratios$1:2$ and $2:3$ are not equivalent
