Are the ratios 6/14

Question

and 10/23
equivalent? 1. Answer yes or no. 2. Clearly explain how you got your answer.(2 points)

Answer 1

No.

To determine if two ratios are equivalent, we need to check if their cross products are equal.

The cross product of the first ratio 6/14 is 6 * 14 = 84.
The cross product of the second ratio 10/23 is 10 * 23 = 230.

Since 84 is not equal to 230, the ratios 6/14 and 10/23 are not equivalent.
