Question

is 2:1 equivalent to 15:11

Answer 1

To determine if the ratios 2:1 and 15:11 are equivalent, we can compare them by converting them into fractions and simplifying.

1. For the ratio 2:1, we can express it as a fraction:
\[
\frac{2}{1} = 2
\]

2. For the ratio 15:11, we can express it as a fraction:
\[
\frac{15}{11} \approx 1.3636
\]

Now, we can see that \(2\) is not equal to \(1.3636\), so:

\[
\frac{2}{1} \neq \frac{15}{11}
\]

Thus, the ratios 2:1 and 15:11 are not equivalent.
