Question

Find two equivalent ratios for $5:8$

Answer 1

Find the equivalent ratios of $5:8$

We know, $5:8=\frac{5}{8}$

To find the equivalent ratios multiply both the numerator and denominator by same number.

Therefore,

$\Rightarrow \frac{5\times 2}{8\times 2}=\frac{10}{16}$ and

$\Rightarrow \frac{5\times 3}{8\times 3}=\frac{15}{24}$

Therefore, $10:16$ and $15:24$ are two equivalent ratios for $5:8$
