Question

Write three equivalent ratios for the following:

$16:7=\_\_\_=\_\_\_=\_\_\_$

Answer 1

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

Given ratios is $16:7$

Equivalent ratio of $16:7$ $=(16\times 2):(7\times 2)=32:14$ ( Multiply with $2$ in both terms)

Similarly $(16\times 3):(7\times 3)=48:21$ ( Multiply with $3$ in both terms)

and, $(16\times 4):(7\times 4)=64:28$ ( Multiply with $4$ in both terms)

Hence, three equivalent ratio of $16:7$ is $32:14,48:21,64:28$
