Question 1: Option B: [tex]\frac{10}{14}=\frac{5}{7}[/tex]
Question 2: Option C: [tex]\frac{12}{18}=\frac{4}{6}[/tex]
Solution:
Question 1:
Given ratio is [tex]\frac{10}{14}[/tex].
To find the equivalent ratio of [tex]\frac{10}{14}[/tex].
10 and 14 have the common factor 2.
So divide both numerator and denominator by the common factor 2.
[tex]$\frac{10}{14}=\frac{10\div2}{14\div 2}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{5}{7}[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{10}{14}=\frac{5}{7}[/tex]
Hence option B is the correct answer.
Question 2:
Given ratio is [tex]\frac{10}{14}[/tex].
To find the equivalent ratio of [tex]\frac{12}{18}[/tex].
12 and 18 have the common factor 3.
So divide both numerator and denominator by the common factor 3.
[tex]$\frac{12}{18}=\frac{12\div3}{18\div 3}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{4}{6}[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{12}{18}=\frac{4}{6}[/tex]
Hence option C is the correct answer.
