What is the difference between equal ratios and equivalent ratios?
To write equal ratios multiply both terms by the same number or divided both terms. For example, 2/ 9 is a ratio equal ratio will be 4/18. There is no difference between equal ratios and equivalent ratios.
How can you tell when two ratios form a proportion?
The simplest way is to check if their cross-products are the same. That is, if you have A/B and X/Y then if AY = BX the two ratios are equivalent.
When are 2 ratios equal?
The two ratios are said to be equal when even if we multiply both terms by the same number or divided both terms , the equivalent fraction or simplest fraction is the same.
How can you determinate if two ratios are equivalent?
Multiply the antecedent of each ratio by the consequent of the other. If the products are equal, the ratios are equivalent.For example, given the two ratios A:B and C:D, if the product of A and D equals the product of B and C, then A:B::C:D (A is to B as C is to D).Two ratios a:b and c:d are equivalent if the crossproducts are the same.That is a/b = c/d if and only if a*d = b*c.
What the equilavent ratios of 5to 3?
Multiply both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the ratio by any non-zero integer. You will have an equivalent ratio.
When you cross multiply two equal ratios the what are equal?
The products.
How do you know if ratios are equivalent?
Cross-multiply them. Given A/B and C/D, if AD = BC then the two ratios are equal.
When do you cross multiply in dividing fractions?
To divide fractions, turn the second one over - that is, swap its numerator and denominator - and multiply. Nothing else is necessary. You cross multiply when you have a proportion, that is when you have two ratios that are equal.
How do you determine if more than two ratios are equivalent or not?
Cross-multiply them in pairs. The ratios are the same if and only if the answers are the same. Thus a/b = c/d iff a*d = b*c.
What does it mean if the cross products of two ratios are not equal?
The ratios are not equal.
what ratios can you use to determine whether the relationship is proportional?
look at the ratios and multiply
What is 10 percent of 40440400 dollars?
4044040 = 10% of 40440400. It is really easy to find the percentages because all you have to do is cross multiply and do ratios. For example x 10 ----= ----- 10 100 cross multiply 100x= 100 x=1 1= 10% of 10
When two or more ratios are equivalent?
When the cross-products of the two ratios are equal.
When you multiply fraction do you cross multiply?
No you only cross multiply when your working with percent
When do two ratios form a proportion?
When both can multiply its comparisons to when both ratios share the exact same numbers.
If cross products are equal the ratios are equal?
Yes, they are.
A statement that 2 ratios are equal?
A statement that two ratios are equal is called a proportion in math. An example of a proportion is 1/2 equals 2/4. In this proportion, if you cross multiply, you find that 4 x1 is equal to 2 x 2, which is a true statement or proportion.
