Question

16 out of 28 own pets; 240 out of 560 students own pets. are they Equivalent? Explain.

Answer 1

28/16=1.75 560/240=2.33 1.75 doesnt equal 2.33, which means that it is not equivalent. Hope that helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer: No, they are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of own pets = 28

out of 28, there are 16.

So, the ratio would be $\dfrac{16}{28}=\dfrac{4}{7}$

Number of own pets = 560

Out of 560, there are 240 are student own pets.

So, the ratio would be $\dfrac{240}{560}=\dfrac{3}{7}$

So, $\dfrac{4}{7}\neq \dfrac{3}{7}$

Hence, they are not equivalent.
