Use cross products to demonstrate whether or not the two ratios are equivalent:
4
6
and
14
21
.
Solution:
To demonstrate whether or not the two ratios are equivalent, we can use cross products.
Cross products:
4 × 21 = 84
6 × 14 = 84
Since the cross products are equal, the two ratios are equivalent.
