Question

Write three equivalent ratios for the following:

$15:16=\_\_\_=\_\_\_=\_\_\_$

Answer 1

Equivalent ratios are the ratios obtained by multiplying with the same number in both the given terms.

Given ratios is $15:16$

Equivalent ratio of $15:16$ $=(15\times 2):(16\times 2)=30:32$ ( Multiply with $2$ in both terms)

Similarly $(15\times 3):(16\times 3)=45:48$ ( Multiply with $3$ in both terms)

and, $(15\times 4):(16\times 4)=60:64$ ( Multiply with $4$ in both terms)

Hence, three equivalent ratio of $15:16$ is $30:32,45:48,60:64$
