Ratios can be expressed as fractions. For example 1:7 can be written 1/7.
Just as a fraction can be converted into an equivalent fraction by multiplying (or dividing) both the numerator and denominator by the same number then the same process can be applied to ratios.
To compare two ratios then convert either the first or second number of the ratio so that both ratios have the same number. A direct comparison can then be made.
EXAMPLE : 3:7 compared to 334 :777
If the figures in the first ratio are multiplied by 111 this makes the second number in both ratios the same. Then 3:7 is equivalent 333:777 which is not equal to 334:777
Equally, The second number in the second ratio could be divided by 111 in which case the comparison would then become 334:777 is equivalent to 3.009:7 which is not 3:7.
-- See whether their cross-products are equal.
-- Alternatively, (actually exactly the same thing), you could invert one and then
multiply them. The original two ratios are equivalent if the product is ' 1 '.
if you can multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number in the first fraction and it equals the second fraction than they should be equal

What is equivalent ratios characteristics?
first of all your question doesnt make sense at all!!! but ill tell you this, Equivalent Ratios are ratios whose fraction or ratio are equivalent. now go away kid
How can you use a coordinate plane to tell if ratios are equivalent?
If the ratios are equivalent the corresponding points will all be on the same straight line through the origin.
What are the ratios that name the same comparison?
equivalent ratios are different ratios that name the same comparison
What are ratios that have same value?
Equivalent ratios.
What are ratios that are equal?
They are called equivalent ratios.
What is two ratios that are equivalent?
Two ratios are the equivalent when their simplified forms are identical.
Two ratios that are equivalent are said to be in what?
Two ratios that are equivalent are said to be in proportion
What are equivlent ratios?
when a number of ratios give the same answer after solving the ratios the ratios are said to be 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.
How to explain making equivalent ratios?
Equivalent ratios are ratios that represent different numbers but the relationship between the numbers is same.
What is the equivalent ratios of 3 and four?
30 : 40 and 33 : 44 are two possible equivalent ratios.
What it means when two ratios are equal?
They are equivalent ratios
