Answer 1

To compare the ratios 7:9 and 4:6, we can compare the values in the tables.

For example, in the first table, when the ratio is 7:9, the corresponding values are:

- 7 corresponds to 9
- 14 corresponds to 18
- 21 corresponds to 27
- 28 corresponds to 36
- 35 corresponds to 45

In the second table, when the ratio is 4:6, the corresponding values are:

- 4 corresponds to 6
- 8 corresponds to 12
- 12 corresponds to 18
- 16 corresponds to 24
- 20 corresponds to 30

We can see that the values in the second table are half the values in the first table. Therefore, the ratios 7:9 and 4:6 are equivalent.
