Question

Kenji has earned 3 tokens and 5 gold coins playing a video game. Lars has earned 4 tokens and 6 gold coins. Lars thinks that the ratio of tokens to gold coins for both players is the same because they each have 2 more gold coins than tokens. Is the same ratio of tokens to gold coins maintained? Justify your response.

Answer 1

Explanation:

No there ratios are not the same Kenji's ratio is 3:5 while Lar's ratio is 4:6 you can find if a ratio is equivalent or not by multiplying each ratio together for example a ratio 3:5 would be 3 times 5 which equals 15.
