Mr. Rowley has 16 papers and 14 exit tickets to return. Ms. Rivera has 64 homework papers and 60 exit tickets to return. For each teacher, write a ratio to represent the number of homework papers to number of exit tickets they have to return. Are the ratios equivalent? Explain

Respuesta :

Mr. Rowley  : 16/14 reduces to 8/7
Ms. Rivera : 64/60 reduces to 16/15

No, these ratios are not equivalent. Because ratios can be written as fractions....and 8/7 is not equivalent to 16/15
