Question

Are these two ratios equivalent by using cross products: 6/7 and 24/27

please help fast

Answer 1

The two ratios are not equivalent

Explanation:

If two ratios a/b and a/c are the same and we cross multiply, the left side should equal the right side

In other words if a/b = c/d

a x d = b x c

So if 6/7 = 24/27,

6 x 27 = 7 x 24

6 x 27 = 162

7 x 24 = 168

Since 162 ≠ 168 the two ratios are not equal
