Question

I played 5 hours of video games over a 3 day weekend, and 60 hours of video games in the month

of April. Determine whether or not the ratios are equivalent. Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

The ratios are not equivalent

Explanation:

First, in order to find the ratios, we have to change the month to the amount of days.

There are 30 days in April, so we will use this for the ratio.

The ratio for the 3 day weekend is 5:3

The ratio for the month of April is 60:30, which can be simplified to 2:1

So, the ratios are not equivalent, because 5:3 is not equal to 2:1
