Write three ratios equal to 7/35
A:1/7, 2/14 , 3/21
B:5/7 , 10/7 , 15/7
C:7/35 , 7/40 , 7/30 I know thisone is wrong
D:1/5 , 2/10 , 3/15
I'm not asking for answers I just need help :)
Thank you!
Now, I haven't done this in awhile but this is what I can tell you:
If you want to find an equivalent ratio of 7/35 you can do that two different ways: multiplication or division. We will be using division.
The equation:
7/35 divided by 7/7
7/7=1
35/7=5
Your answer: 1/5
With that knowledge, let's go back to multiplication. If we take 2/2 times 1/5 you get 2/10 and if you take 3/3 you get 3/15.

I hope this helps!
To find ratios equal to 7/35, you need to determine ratios in which the ratio of the numerator to denominator is the same as 7/35, which can be simplified to 1/5.
Let's go through each option:
A: The ratios given are 1/7, 2/14, and 3/21. To check if these ratios are equal to 7/35, simplify each ratio.
- The ratio 1/7 simplifies to 1/7.
- The ratio 2/14 simplifies to 1/7.
- The ratio 3/21 simplifies to 1/7.
All three ratios in option A are indeed equal to 7/35.
B: The ratios given are 5/7, 10/7, and 15/7. Again, simplify each ratio.
- The ratio 5/7 does not simplify to 7/35.
- The ratio 10/7 does not simplify to 7/35.
- The ratio 15/7 does not simplify to 7/35.
None of the ratios in option B are equal to 7/35.
C: The ratios given are 7/35, 7/40, and 7/30. Simplify each ratio.
- The ratio 7/35 does indeed simplify to 7/35 (the same ratio we started with).
- The ratio 7/40 does not simplify to 7/35.
- The ratio 7/30 does not simplify to 7/35.
Only the first ratio in option C is equal to 7/35.
D: The ratios given are 1/5, 2/10, and 3/15. Simplify each ratio.
- The ratio 1/5 does indeed simplify to 7/35.
- The ratio 2/10 does indeed simplify to 7/35.
- The ratio 3/15 does indeed simplify to 7/35.
All three ratios in option D are equal to 7/35.
So, the correct answer is option D: 1/5, 2/10, 3/15.
just multiply or divide both top and bottom by the same thing.
One choice will eliminate all the wrong answers.
