Question

Match the equivalent ratios with each other in the following:

• A. 2:4
• B. 3:9
• C. 4:16
• D. 3:15

Answer 1

Equivalent ratios have equal simplest forms. So,

2:4 = (1 $\times$ 2):(2 $\times$ 2) = 1:2
3:9 = (1 $\times$ 3):(3 $\times$ 3) = 1:3
4:16 = (1 $\times$ 4):(4 $\times$ 4) = 1:4
3:15 = (1 $\times$ 3):(5 $\times$ 3) = 1:5
