Question

Find two equivalent ratios of $5:3$

Answer 1

Finding the equivalent ratios :

Equivalent ratios mean that two numbers have the same proportion to one another when you put them in their simplest form.

We can find the equivalent ratios of any given ratio by multiplying or dividing both the terms by same number.

Two equivalent ratios of $5:3$:

$\frac{5\times 2}{3\times 2}=\frac{10}{6}$$=10:6$ $\left[\mathrm{Multiplying}\mathrm{both}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{terms}\mathrm{by}2\right]$

$\frac{5\times 3}{3\times 3}=\frac{15}{9}$$=15:9$ $[\mathrm{Multiplying}\mathrm{both}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{terms}\mathrm{by}3]$

Hence, two equivalent ratios of $5:3$ is $10:6$ and $15:9$
