How do we find equivalent ratios

Answer 1

ratios are like fractions.

2:3 is also written as 2/3.
So you basically find equivalent ratios just like you find equivalent fractions.

For example :
4:5 (also written as 4/5)

an equivalent fraction can be found by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number.
4/5 * 2/2 = 8/10 ..... 8/10 is equivalent to 4/5....or 8:10 is equivalent to 4:5

4/5 * 3/3 = 12/15 ... 12/15 is equivalent to 4/5...or 12:15 is equivalent to 4:5

just be sure and multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number, or the results will not produce an equivalent fraction...or ratio.
