Question

Give three equivalent ratios of 4 : 9.

Answer 1

Ratio $4:9$ is also $\frac{4}{9}$. This ratio is in reduced form.

Equivalent ratios can be found by multiplying both parts of the ratio by same constant.

$\frac{4}{9}\times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{8}{18}$

$\frac{4}{9}\times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{12}{27}$

$\frac{4}{9}\times \frac{4}{4}=\frac{16}{36}$
