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.
You 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.

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 is a equivalent ratio to 1 5?
Well, darling, an equivalent ratio to 1:5 would be 2:10. You see, ratios are like a fabulous pair of shoes - you can change the size but as long as the proportions stay the same, you're good to go. So, 1 part to 5 parts is the same as 2 parts to 10 parts. Voilà!
