Select two ratios that are equivalent to 6:10

A

20:12

B

32:50

C

3:5

D

24:40

E

14:80

C and D are the answers because if you divide 6:10 by 2 you get 3:5

if you multiply 6:10 by 4 you get 24:40

The correct answers are C and D. The two ratios that are equivalent to 6:10 are 3:5 and 24:40.

Step-by-step explanation:

As 6/10 is equal to 0.60 in ordinary numbers, in order to know the equivalencies we have to divide the ratios and see if their results are equal to 0.60 or not. So:

A. 20/12 = 1.66

B. 32/50 = 0.64

C. 3/5 = 0.60

D. 24/40 = 0.60

E. 14/80 = 0.17

Therefore, these calculations show that the ratios that are equivalent to 6:10 are 3:5 and 24:40.
