Equivalent and Simplest Form of Ratios

The document discusses equivalent ratios and how to determine if two ratios are equivalent. It provides examples of equivalent ratios such as 1:2 and 4:8. It explains that two ratios are considered equivalent if one can be expressed as a multiple of the other. The document also shows how to find equivalent ratios using multiplication or division and provides a step-by-step example of finding two equivalent ratios of 8:18, which are determined to be 16:36 and 4:9.

Writing Equivalent Ratios

1:2 = 4:8 9:4 = 18:8

3:5 = 12:20
Solved example to find two equivalent ratios:

1. Give two equivalent ratios of 8 : 18.

Solution:

We will find the first equivalent ratio of 8 : 18 by using multiplication.

So, first we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 8/18

= (8 × 2)/(18 × 2)

= 16/36

= 16 : 36 (one equivalent ratio),

So, 16 : 36 is an equivalent ratio of 8 : 18.


Now we will find another equivalent ratio of 8 : 18 by using division.

Similarly, first we need to write the given ratio as fraction,

= 8/18

= (8 ÷ 2)/(18 ÷ 2)

= 4/9

= 4 : 9 (another equivalent ratio)

So, 4 : 9 is an equivalent ratio of 8 : 18.

Therefore, the two equivalent ratios of 8 : 18 are 16 : 36 and 4 : 9.
