Answer for screen readers

The ratios equivalent to (6:4) are:

  • (42:28)

Steps to Solve

  1. 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).

  1. 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)} ]

  1. 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.
