In a marching band there are 24 trombones and 15 enare drums.
a. Heather says. The ratio of trombones to snare drums is 24:15.
Audrey says, "No, the ratio of trombones to snare drums is 8.5.
Who is right, and why?

to snare drum ratio is the same as the first marching band. How
many trombones does it have?
Explain what these ratios all have in common. 8.5. 16:10. 24:15
Create a diagram to support your answer.
d. Mathematicians call these equivalent ratios." Come up with a
new set of ratios that are equivalent to 6:21.
e. Explain in your own words the meaning of "equivalent ratios.
