Question

Write three equivalent ratios for the following:

$3:4=\_\_\_=\_\_\_=\_\_\_$

Answer 1

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

Given ratios is $3:4$

Equivalent ratio of $3:4$ $=(3\times 2):(4\times 2)=6:8$ ( Multiply with $2$ in both terms)

Similarly $(3\times 3):(4\times 3)=9:12$ ( Multiply with $3$ in both terms)

and, $(3\times 4):(4\times 4)=12:16$ ( Multiply with $4$ in both terms)

Hence, three equivalent ratio of $3:4$ is $6:8,9:12,12:16$
