Question

Are these ratios equivalent? 2 large bracelets : 10 medium bracelets 4 large bracelets : 20 medium bracelets

Answer 1

To determine if the two ratios are equivalent, we can simplify each ratio and compare them.

1. The first ratio is 2 large bracelets to 10 medium bracelets. This can be written as:
\[
\frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}
\]

2. The second ratio is 4 large bracelets to 20 medium bracelets. This can be written as:
\[
\frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5}
\]

Both ratios simplify to \(\frac{1}{5}\), which means they are equivalent. Therefore, the answer is yes, the ratios are equivalent.
