There are two ways you can make an equivalent ratio.

One way is to multiply.

The original ratio was 2/6. So I multiplied the numerator by 2 and i got 4. And whatever you do to the top, you do to the bottom, which is the denominator.

Other way is Divide. -

The original ratio was 2/6. But to make the ratio simple, I divided the numerator by 2 and I got 1. Then I divided the denominator by 2 and I got 3.







Questions -

mistake: 2:4
right answer : 1:2

I should always select the lowest terms

I thought that it was boys : girls, but it was girls : boys .. Next time I have to read the question carefully !

7. A rapid transit train has 39 passengers on it as it starts its run. At first stop 12 passengers get off and 18 passengers get on.

Express your answer in lowest terms.

mistake: 18 : 12
answer : 13 : 15

I kinda rushed on this question because I left it blank at first. But when I went back on it, I didnt get it.

8. A picture frame has a width to length ratio of 5 : 7. If the width of the photo is 9 cm, the length of the photo is.

First you have to find out how you got the 9cm, then you do the same with the length.

17. Use the data in the table below to determine which sports teams have eaquipment scored by to scored against ratios.
