Question

Are the ratios 3:5 and 2:4 equivalent?
yes or no

Answer 1

No 2:4 is equal to 1:2 but you can’t simplify 3:5

Answer 2

No, they are not.

Explanation:

A ratio can be written as a fraction. So 3:5 is the same as 3/5 and 2:4 is the same as 2/4.

3/5 = 2/4

0.6 = 0.5 INCORRECT

As you can see, the both don't equal the same numbers, so they aren't equivalent.
