Are these ratios equivalent? 8 large rubber bands : 10 small rubber bands

16 large rubber bands : 20 small rubber bands

Group of answer choices

Yes

No

Explanation

The ratio 8:10 simplifies to 4:5 when you divide both parts by 2.

The ratio 16:20 simplifies to 4:5 when you divide both parts by 4

Therefore the two ratios 8:10 and 16:20 are both equal 4:5, so they are equal to one another.

Put another way,

(8 large)/(10 small) = (16 large)/(20 small)

8/10 = 16/20

8*20 = 10*16 ... cross multiply

160 = 160

We get a true equation, so the first equation is true as well.

This shows the ratios are equivalent.

Or you could have...

(8 large)/(16 large) = (10 small)/(20 small)

8/16 = 10/20

8*20 = 16*10

160 = 160

We get the same conclusion as before.
