Question

Are 16:14 and 64:60 equivalent ratios?

Answer 1

Ratios are equivalent when you divide the first term by the second and it's the same for both ratios.

In this case, 16/14 is not equal to 64/60

Answer 2

Both the ratios are not equivalent.

Explanation:

Consider the provided ratios:

16:14

The above ratio can be written as:

`(16)/(40)=(2)/(5)`

Now consider the another ratio:

64:60

The above ratio can be written as:

`(64)/(60)=(16)/(15)`

Now compare both the ratio:

`(2)/(5)\\eq (16)/(15)`

Hence, both the ratios are not equivalent.
