At a factory, the ratio of defective parts to total number of parts is 3:200. Write an equivalent ratio.

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Can't that ratio also be rewritten like this? \[\frac{ 3 }{ 200 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sooo, that's the answer?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

No, I am basically trying to get you to understand that a ratio is also a fraction.

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

So if you multiplied that entire fraction by 2 what would you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1200 ?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

2(3:200) = 6:400

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6:400 ? <-- answer ?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Yes that is a possible answer. There are many more.

Ok, thank you!
