Oh, what a happy little question! Let's take a moment to appreciate these ratios. To see if they are equivalent, we can simplify them. When we simplify 3:2, we get 1.5, and when we simplify 5:3, we get approximately 1.67. Since these values are not the same, the ratios 3:2 and 5:3 are not equivalent, but they each have their own unique beauty.

JudyYou can check this by getting common numerators or denominators for the two fractions.
Common numerators:
The numerators are 3 and 5. These can be multiplied together to get 15, the new numerator.
To get the numerator to equal 15, 3/2 is multiplied by 5/5 to become 15/10.
To get the numerator to equal 15, 5/3 is multiplied by 3/3 to become 15/9.
15/9 does not equal 15/10.
Common denominators:
The denominators are 2 and 3. These can be multiplied together to get 6, the new denominator.
To get the denominator to equal 6, 3/2 is multiplied by 3/3 to become 9/6.
To get the denominator to equal 6, 5/3 is multiplied by 2/2 to become 10/6.
9/6 doesn't equal 10/6.
Both methods show that 3/2 does not equal 5/3.

Which of the following ratios are equivalent to 20 percent?
1:5, 2:10, 3:15, 4:20
Are the ratios 35 and 1220 equivalent?
If you mean: 3 to 5 and 12 to 20 then yes they are both equivalent
Are the ratios 6 to 8 and 8 to 10 equivalent?
To compare we have to calculate the ratios in simplest form. The ratios of 6 /8 =3/4.and 8/10 =4/5 . and we can say 4/5 is not equal to 3/4.
What are 2 equivalent fractions for 5 over 15?
2/6, 3/9,...To get the equivalent fractions of 5/15:1. Reduce the given fraction to its lowest term so as to get equivalent fractions of lesser value.5/15 = 1/32.Multiply 1/3 by 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5,...1/3 * 2/2 = 2/61/3 * 3/3 = 3/9Equivalent fractions of 5/15 = 2/6,3/9,...
