In order to check whether the given ratios are equivalent or not, we will have to simplify them or reduce them to their simplest form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example: <\/strong>Consider the ratios as 1:2, 2:4. 3:6.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">If you reduce 3:6 to its&nbsp; simplest form, you get 1:2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">If you reduce 2:4 to its simplest form, you get 1:2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, these are

class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Ratio is defined as the quantitative relation or comparison between two different quantities of the same kind and same unit. In mathematics, the symbol \u201c:\u201d is used to express ratio, where a ratio is anything that compares two quantities of the same kind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Ratio of a to $b = a : b =&nbsp;\\frac{a}{b}$&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The first quantity of the ratio is called antecedent, whereas the second quantity of the ratio is called consequent. In the above example, 1 is the antecedent and 3 is the consequent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/antecedent-and-consequent-in-a-ratio.png\" alt=\"Antecedent and consequent in a ratio\" class=\"wp-image-40920\" title=\"Antecedent and consequent in a ratio\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/antecedent-and-consequent-in-a-ratio.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/antecedent-and-consequent-in-a-ratio-300x141.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">So, what are equivalent ratios? Let\u2019s see an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> The ratio of the number of oranges to the number of apples in the fruit basket is 2:3 or $\\frac{2}{3}$. Can you guess how many apples and oranges are there in the basket?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the interesting part! Note that this does not mean that there are 2 oranges and 3 apples in the basket. It means that the number of oranges will be some multiple of 2 and the number of apples will be the multiple of 3 with respect to the same number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">What are the possibilities then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"315\"

ratios since they ultimately get reduced to the same value, 2:3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-worksheets-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4
