Question

Write three equivalent ratios for the following:

$8:6=\_\_\_=\_\_\_=\_\_\_$

Answer 1

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

Given ratios is $8:6$

Equivalent ratio of $8:6$ $=(8\times 2):(6\times 2)=16:12$ ( Multiply with $2$ in both terms)

Similarly $(8\times 3):(6\times 3)=24:18$ ( Multiply with $3$ in both terms)

and, $(8\times 4):(6\times 4)=32:24$ ( Multiply with $4$ in both terms)

Hence, three equivalent ratio of $8:6$ is $16:12,24:18,32:24$
