Write two equivalent ratio for the following:
A. ⅛ b. ½
A. 1/8 is equivalent to 2/16 and 4/32.
B. 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4 and 5/10.
A. Two equivalent ratios for ⅛ are:
1. 2/16
To get this equivalent ratio, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2: ⅛ x 2/2 = 2/16.
2. 4/32
To get this equivalent ratio, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4: ⅛ x 4/4 = 4/32.
B. Two equivalent ratios for ½ are:
1. 2/4
To get this equivalent ratio, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2: ½ x 2/2 = 2/4.
2. 4/8
To get this equivalent ratio, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4: ½ x 4/4 = 4/8.
To find equivalent ratios for a given ratio, you can multiply or divide both parts of the ratio by the same number. This will preserve the proportionality between the two parts.
A. The ratio ⅛ can be written as:
Equivalent Ratio 1: (⅛) × 2 = 2/8 = 1/4
To find an equivalent ratio, we multiplied both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
Equivalent Ratio 2: (⅛) × 3 = 3/8
To find another equivalent ratio, we multiplied both the numerator and the denominator by 3.
B. The ratio ½ can be written as:
Equivalent Ratio 1: (½) × 2 = 2/2 = 1/1
To find an equivalent ratio, we multiplied both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
Equivalent Ratio 2: (½) × 3 = 3/2
To find another equivalent ratio, we multiplied the numerator by 3 and left the denominator as is.
