Can someone help me understand ratios?Like equivalent ratios? I don't remember learning that when I was in school.It's so I can explain it to my 11 year old son for his homework.
Equal ratios are those that are equal to each other.
Example:-
4/2 = 8/4
Also, ratios compare to values, and there are 3 ways to write a ratio.
4/2 and 4:2 and 4 to 2
You can write endless equivalent ratios. How? What you do in the numerator, you do in the denominator.
For example:
5/4, if we multiply for 2:
5/4 = 10/8
or 3:
5/4 = 15/12
or to divide for 5:
1/0,8
Good look with your son.
