Mara Eaton · Answer 1

These sets are not equal ratios. Let's start with the obvious reason. 4 and 7 does not equal up to 9/13 of how many times you try with.

And if we do x2, it will be 8/14 and 9/13. These sets does not match.

So in conclusion, 4/7 and 9/13 is not a set of equal ratios.

Kaylyn Gill · Answer 2

NO this set is not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay the way you find out if a pair of ratios are equal is you would divide the denominator and nominator with each other, so: 13/7 and 9/4. But sense the answer would be in decimal form and cant be simplified this wouldnt be considered equivalent. Also if you divide 7 by 4 you get a different answer than when you do 13 divided 9.
