Give an example of an equivalent ratio to 7/5 .(1 point)
An equivalent ratio to 7/5 is 14/10.
Ruben and Claire are training to run a marathon in the spring. Ruben runs 16 miles over a 4-day period. Claire runs 12 miles over a 3-day period. Are they running at the same rate of speed? Respond "1" for yes or "2" for no.(1 point)
To determine whether Ruben and Claire are running at the same rate of speed, we need to compare the distances they have covered per day.
Ruben runs 16 miles over 4 days, therefore his average distance per day is 16/4 = 4 miles per day.
Claire runs 12 miles over 3 days, therefore her average distance per day is 12/3 = 4 miles per day.
Since both Ruben and Claire are running an average of 4 miles per day, they are indeed running at the same rate of speed.
Therefore, the answer is 1.
To find an equivalent ratio to 7/5, we need to multiply or divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. Let's start by multiplying:
- Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2: (7 * 2) / (5 * 2) = 14/10.
Therefore, an equivalent ratio to 7/5 is 14/10.
