Question

Find two equivalent ratios of $6:14$.

Answer 1

Equivalent ratio:

A ratio obtained by multiplying or dividing both terms of the given ratio by same non-zero number is called an equivalent ratio.

Find equivalent ratios:

Given, the ratio $6:14$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{6}{14}=\frac{6\times 2}{14\times 2}=\frac{12}{28}=12:28 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{6}{14}=\frac{6\times 3}{14\times 3}=\frac{18}{42}=18:42 \end{gathered}$$.

Thus $12:28$ and $18:42$ are two equivalent ratios of $6:14$.
