Select all ratios equivalent to 6:4.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which of the given ratios are equivalent to the ratio 6:4. This involves comparing the simplifications of each ratio to see if they can be stated as equal to the simplified form of 6:4, which is 3:2.
Answer
The equivalent ratio is \(42:28\).
Answer for screen readers
The ratios equivalent to (6:4) are:
- (42:28)
Steps to Solve
- Identify the Simplified Ratio
The given ratio is (6:4). To simplify it, divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is (2):
[
\frac{6 \div 2}{4 \div 2} = \frac{3}{2}
]
So the simplified form is (3:2).
- Simplify Each Ratio
Now, simplify each of the provided ratios to check if any of them equal (3:2).
-
Ratio 1: (60:2)
Divide both parts by (2):
[ \frac{60 \div 2}{2 \div 2} = \frac{30}{1} \quad \text{(not equivalent)} ] -
Ratio 2: (35:6)
This ratio cannot be simplified to (3:2). It is already in its simplest form: (35:6) (not equivalent). -
Ratio 3: (4:14)
Divide both parts by (2):
[ \frac{4 \div 2}{14 \div 2} = \frac{2}{7} \quad \text{(not equivalent)} ] -
Ratio 4: (42:28)
Divide both parts by (14):
[ \frac{42 \div 14}{28 \div 14} = \frac{3}{2} \quad \text{(equivalent)} ]
-
Conclusion
The only ratio equivalent to (6:4) (or (3:2)) is (42:28).
The ratios equivalent to (6:4) are:
- (42:28)
More Information
The ratio (6:4) simplifies to (3:2), and any ratio that simplifies to the same fraction is equivalent. A ratio can be expressed in different forms, but equivalent ratios have the same simplest form.
Tips
- Not simplifying ratios completely or correctly.
- Confusing which numbers to divide to find the GCD.
- Not checking all provided ratios thoroughly.
