Question

is 4:18 and 2:12 equivalent or not justify the reasoning

Answer 1

Not equivalent ratios

1) Equivalent ratios have the same proportionality constant.

2) Let's compare them, simplifying both ratios:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{18}=\frac{2}{9} \\ \frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}$

3) Since when we simplify them we get different ratios, namely 2/9 and 1/6

Hence, these ratios are not equivalent.
