find a ratio equivalent to each ratio.
then use the ratios to write a proportion
8/14
4/18.. I am so confused. Pleasse help me???? Thank ya'll.
Sorry these are not helpful but thanks anyways.
Multiply or divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
8/14 = 4/7 = 12/21
Try the other ratio yourself.
1/3, youre welcome
To find a ratio that is equivalent to each given ratio, we need to simplify or scale down the ratios.
For the ratio 8/14, we can simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 8 and 14 is 2.
Dividing 8 by 2 gives us 4, and dividing 14 by 2 gives us 7. So the simplified ratio equivalent to 8/14 is 4/7.
For the ratio 4/18, we can simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCD. In this case, the GCD of 4 and 18 is 2.
Dividing 4 by 2 gives us 2, and dividing 18 by 2 gives us 9. So the simplified ratio equivalent to 4/18 is 2/9.
To write a proportion using these ratios, we write the two ratios as fractions and set them equal to each other:
8/14 = 4/7
4/18 = 2/9
So the proportions would be:
8/14 = 4/7
4/18 = 2/9
I hope this clears up your confusion! Let me know if you have any further questions.
