Two ratios 36 : 3 and 24: 4 are given in the question.

We have to find out whether these ratios are equivalent.

What do you mean by ratio?

A ratio is defined as the relative sizes of two or more values i.e., 12 : 24 or 13 : 26 , etc.

As per the question ;

First ratio is 36 : 3.

Let’s check by simplifying it ;

i.e.,

36 : 3

dividing by common factor 3 on both sides of ratio , we get ;

12 : 1

Second ratio is 24 : 4 ;

24 : 4

dividing by common factor 6 on both sides of ratio , we get ;
6 : 1
