What value of x makes each pair of ratios equivalent?

The answer will depend on what the ratios are. But since you have not bothered to provide that information, I cannot provide a sensible answer.


How do you do this There are 123 chocolates in a box They are either plain milk or white The ratio of plain to milk is 2 to 3 The ratio of milk to white is 7 to 2 Find the number of plain chocolates?

As "milk" appears in both ratios you need to create equivalent ratios with the same value of "milk" in each; then you can combine the two ratios in to one ratio for all three and use that ratio to solve the problem.Equivalent ratios are like equivalent factions: whatever you multiply/divide one side of the ratio by, you must multiply/divide the other side by the same amount and you will have an equivalent ratio - this is how ratios are simplified.The first ratio plain : milk = 2 : 3The second ratio milk : white = 7 : 2To avoid fractions, use the lcm of the value of the "milk" in both ratios: ie the lcm(3, 7) = 21 as the value of "milk" in the equivalent ratios - divide the lcm by the current value to find what number you need to multiply the ratio by:The first ratio can be multiplied by 21 ÷ 3 = 7 to give:plain : milk = 2 : 3 = 2×7 : 3×7 = 14 : 21The second ratio can be multiplied by 21 ÷ 7 = 3 to give:milk : white = 7 : 2 = 7×3 : 2×3 = 21 : 6The two ratios can now be combined in a single ratio with three terms as the "milk" is 21 in each case, forming:plain : milk : white = 14 : 21 : 6From this we can find how many of each type of chocolate there are, and in particular how many plain ones there are:There are 14 + 21 + 6 = 41 parts→ each part is worth 123 chocs ÷ 41 parts = 3 chocs per part→ There are 14 parts × 3 chocs per part plain = 42 plain chocolates-------------------------------------------------------------------To check we can also work out the quantity of the other two types of chocolates:& There are 21 parts × 3 chocs per part milk = 63 milk& There are 6 parts × 3 chocs per part white = 18 whiteThis gives a total box of 42 plain + 63 milk + 18 white = 123 chocolatesAnd recalculate the ratios, simplifying them:Ratio of plain : milk = 42 : 63 = 2×21 : 3×32 = 2 : 3Ratio of milk : white = 63 : 18 = 7×9 : 2×9 = 7 : 2


Can you create an equivalent ratio by adding the same number to each quantity in the ratio?

No. It is necessary to multiply.


How can you use a table to decide if a relationship is proportional?

If the ratio between each pair of values is the same then the relationship is proportional. If even one of the ratios is different then it is not proportional.


What is the ratios of 6 over 7?

Ah, ratios are like little fractions that compare two numbers. So, the ratio of 6 over 7 simply means you have 6 parts out of a total of 7 parts. It's like saying you have 6 happy little trees out of 7 in your forest painting. Just remember, ratios are all about comparing quantities and seeing how they relate to each other.

How do you use ratio tables to compare ratios?

To use ratio tables for comparing ratios, first, create a table that lists the values of each ratio in corresponding rows. For example, if you're comparing the ratios of apples to oranges and bananas to grapes, list the quantities of each in separate columns. By filling in the table with equivalent values (e.g., scaling each ratio to a common denominator), you can easily see which ratio is greater or if they are equivalent. This visual representation helps clarify the relationships between the ratios at a glance.


What are 3 equivalent ratios of 1 to 3?

Three equivalent ratios of 1 to 3 are 2 to 6, 4 to 12, and 5 to 15. These ratios maintain the same proportional relationship, meaning that for every 1 unit of the first quantity, there are 3 units of the second quantity. Each ratio can be derived by multiplying both parts of the original ratio by the same number.


What is the ratio of 531054006300?

A ratio is 531054006300:1. To obtain equivalent ratios simply multiply each of these numbers by any non-zero number.


How do you use equivalent ratios to complete each table?

To use equivalent ratios to complete a table, first identify the ratio you want to work with. Then, multiply or divide both terms of the ratio by the same number to find equivalent values. For example, if the ratio is 2:3, you can find equivalent ratios like 4:6 (by multiplying both terms by 2) or 6:9 (by multiplying by 3). Fill in the table with these calculated ratios to maintain consistency throughout.


What is a similarity ratio?

similarity ratios are ratios in which both the ratios are equal to each other


In a table if the ratios weren't equivalent would it still be direct variation?

No; each ratio has to be the same for a direct variation.

Which set of ratios are equivalent 36 and 918 47 and 48 12 and 34 216 and 116?

To determine which set of ratios are equivalent, we can simplify each pair of numbers. The ratio of 36 to 918 simplifies to 1:25.5, while 47 to 48 simplifies to approximately 0.979. The ratio of 12 to 34 is approximately 0.353, and 216 to 116 simplifies to approximately 1.862. None of the ratios are equivalent to each other.


How do you do equivalent ratios?

Multiply each part of the ratio by the same number.


Are two ratios always equal to each other?

No but the equal ratios are called Equivalent Ratios.


What is the comparison of a rational number and a ratio?

I have no idea what "compersion" means or what you are trying to say. A rational number is so called because it can be expressed as ratio of two integers. Each rational number is a ratio and each ratio is a rational number. However, the relationship is not one of equivalence: each rational number can be represented by infinitely many equivalent ratios.
