To compare the ratios 5:9 and 3:6, we can compare the corresponding values for each ratio.

For the first ratio 5:9, the corresponding values are:

5 and 9
10 and 18
15 and 27
20 and 36
25 and 45

For the second ratio 3:6, the corresponding values are:

3 and 6
6 and 12
9 and 18
12 and 24
15 and 30

Comparing the corresponding values from each ratio, we can see that they are the same. Therefore, 5:9 and 3:6 are equivalent ratios.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try comparing the ratios again using the given tables.

For the first ratio 5:9, the corresponding values are:

5 and 9
10 and 18
15 and 27
20 and 36
25 and 45

For the second ratio 3:6, the corresponding values are:

3 and 6
6 and 12
9 and 18
12 and 24
15 and 30

Comparing the corresponding values, we can see that:

5 is to 9 as 3 is to 6
10 is to 18 as 6 is to 12
15 is to 27 as 9 is to 18
20 is to 36 as 12 is to 24
25 is to 45 as 15 is to 30

We notice that the second ratio is simply half of the values in the first ratio. Therefore, the ratio 3:6 is equivalent to the ratio 5:9, just with the values halved.
no it is 5:9 is bigger
Apologies for the confusion. Let's compare the ratios again using the given tables.

For the first ratio 5:9, the corresponding values are:

5 and 9
10 and 18
15 and 27
20 and 36
25 and 45

For the second ratio 3:6, the corresponding values are:

3 and 6
6 and 12
9 and 18
12 and 24
15 and 30

To compare the ratios, we can simplify both ratios to their simplest form.

The first ratio 5:9 cannot be simplified any further.

For the second ratio 3:6, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.

3 ÷ 3 = 1
6 ÷ 3 = 2

Therefore, the simplified form of 3:6 is 1:2.

Since 5:9 is not equivalent to 1:2, we can conclude that the ratio 5:9 is indeed bigger than the ratio 3:6.
