Question

Which of the following ratios are equivalent to 60%?

Check all that apply.
O A. 4:6
OB. 10:20
O C. 12:36
O D. 3:5
O E. 15:25

Answer 1

D. 3:5 and E. 15:25

Explanation:

If it is 60%, it means that the ratio is 6:10 (60/100).

Because both 6 and 10 are divisible by 2, we can then simplify the ratio to 3:5.

Therefore it is D. 3:5

We can then multiply both sides by 5 which will give us 15:25, so E is also correct.

The others of not correct because they are not equivalent to the ratio 3:5.

Hope this helped!
