Explain how you can determine whether two ratios are equivalent.

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

any examples to tell you how

OpenStudy (photon336):

well, for starters a ratio looks something like this for example the ratio of A to B \[ratio = \frac{ A }{ B }\]

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

Equivalent Ratios. Students learn to find equal ratios by first writing the given ratio as a fraction, then multiplying the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same number. For example, to find two ratios that are equal to 1:7, first write 1:7 as the fraction 1/7.

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

that should be something to help u

OpenStudy (photon336):

@Angelinaxoxo1 are these two equivalent? \[\frac{ 6 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 2 }{4 }\]

OpenStudy (benlindquist):
