Which ratio is NOT equilvalent to 6/16? A. 3/8 B. 15/40 C. 24/54 D. 60/160
C?
need an explanation plz dont guess.
if you devide (top)/(top) you should get the same answer as (bottom) / (bottom) A:\[{6\over3} = {16 \over 8} = 2\] B:\[{6\over15} = {16 \over 40} = {2 \over 5 } = 0.4\] C:\[{6\over24} \neq {16 \over 54} \rightarrow \rightarrow {1 \over 4} \neq {8 \over 27}\] D:\[{6 \over 60} = {16 \over 160} = {1\over 10} = 0.1\]
so which one is NOT equivalent?
pfft was more than a 'guess' :)
MathMind, I wasn't in class today when my teacher was explaining this.....soo......I really don't know..
did you look at my explanation? lol
YEP! :) dont get in -_- haha :)
it* i mean
the ratio has to be the same. plug in the answers in your calculator it will give you .375 for all except C which is .444
.....
take a look at the first one. if you multiply top and bottom of 3/8 by 2 then you get 6/16 which is equivalent
that means the ratio is the same.
