Question

The equivalent ratio to 9:6 is .

• A. 3:2
• B. 5:3
• C. 4:5

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3:2

9:6 can be written as $\frac{9}{6}$.

Consider $\frac{9}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{5}$.
$9\times 5$ = 45
$4\times 6$ = 24
Since 45 is not equal to 24, the ratios are not equivalent.

Consider $\frac{9}{6}$ and $\frac{5}{3}$.
$9\times 3$ = 27
$5\times 6$ = 30
Since 27 is not equal to 30, the ratios are not equivalent.

Consider $\frac{9}{6}$ and $\frac{3}{2}$.
$9\times 2$ = 18
$6\times 3$ = 18
Here, we can say that 9:6 and 3:2 are equivalent ratios.
