What are ratios that are equal?
They are called equivalent ratios.
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.
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 does it mean when two ratios form a proportion?
When two ratios form a proportion, the ratios are equal
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.
