table

This table shows equivalent ratios. Which ratio is equivalent to 1 to 8?
7 to 14
7 to 9
6 to 41
6 to 48

Answer 1

6 to 48 because 6*8=48

Answer 2

Answer:

6 to 48

Explanation:

Set the ratios up like fractions. That's another form of the ratio. Do 1/8 = 6/48. Now, take the numerator of 1/8 and multiply it by the denominator of 6/48. 1×48=48. Write 48 under 1/8. Now, do the same thing with the other two numbers. 8×6= 48. Now, write 48 under 6/48. Bring your equal sign down. It should look like 48=48. Ask yourself: Does 48 equal 48? Yes it does. Therefore, these two ratios are equivalent. (You can do these to the others to check if you'd like)

This method is called cross-cancelling.
