Question

Which are equivalent ratios to 2:3?
Check all that are true.

10:16

8:12

6:9

9:12

4:6

Answer 1

Answer:

8:12 6:9 4:6

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide each ratio by 2:3 and check if both numbers on either side of : are the same

For example:

8:12 divided by 2:3 = 4:4

Answer 2

Answer:

8:12, 6:9, and 4:6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent ratios are any ratios that represent the same when they are simplified. All the ratios above simplify to 2:3. When the 8 and 12 of 8:12 are both divided by 4, the result is 2:3. When the 6 and 9 in 6:9 are both divided by 3, the result is 2:3. When the 4 and 6 in 4:6 are both divided by 2, the result is 2:3. The ratios 10:16 and 9:12 cannot be simplified to 2:3, and therefore are not correct answers.
