1)  

 Are these ratios equivalent

36 and 612



Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

Two ratios are equivalent if their cross products are equal.

Solve:

36 and 612

Compare the two cross products. Multiply the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other.

3 x 12 = 6 x 6

         36 = 36

The cross products are equal, so the ratios are equivalent.

 



2)  

 Are these ratios equivalent

3 : 6 and 6 : 12



Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

Two ratios are equivalent if their cross products are equal.

Solve:

Write the ratios as fractions.

36 and 612

Compare the two cross products. Multiply the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other.

3 x 12 = 6 x 6

         36 = 36

The cross products are equal, so the ratios are equivalent.

 



3)  

 Are these ratios equivalent

2 : 5 and 5 : 14



Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

Two ratios are equivalent if their cross products are equal.

Solve:

Write the ratios as fractions.

25 and 514

Compare the two cross products. Multiply the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other.

2 x 14 = 5 x 5

         28 ⇔ 25

The cross products are not equal, so the ratios are not equivalent.

 



4)  

 Are these ratios equivalent

26 and 311



Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

Two ratios are equivalent if their cross products are equal.

Solve:

26 and 311

Compare the two cross products. Multiply the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other.

2 x 11 = 6 x 3

         22 ⇔ 18

The cross products are not equal, so the ratios are not equivalent.

 



5)  

 Are these ratios equivalent

25 and 410



Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

Two ratios are equivalent if their cross products are equal.

Solve:

25 and 410

Compare the two cross products. Multiply the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other.

2 x 10 = 5 x 4

         20 = 20

The cross products are equal, so the ratios are equivalent.

 



6)

2 : 6 and 4 : 12



Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

Two ratios are equivalent if their cross products are equal.

Solve:

Write the ratios as fractions.

26 and 412

Compare the two cross products. Multiply the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other.

2 x 12 = 6 x 4

         24 = 24

The cross products are equal, so the ratios are equivalent.

 



7)

26 and 517

Compare the two cross products. Multiply the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other.

2 x 17 = 6 x 5

         34 ⇔ 30

The cross products are not equal, so the ratios are not equivalent.

 



8)  

 Are these ratios equivalent

24 and 715



Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

Two ratios are equivalent if their cross products are equal.

Solve:

24 and 715

Compare the two cross products. Multiply the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other.

2 x 15 = 4 x 7

         30 ⇔ 28

The cross products are not equal, so the ratios are not equivalent.
