Equivalent ratios are ratios that contain different numbers but express the same relationship between the quantities they're comparing. Ratios are equivalent if there's a positive number that can be multiplied by both quantities in one ratio to get the corresponding quantities in the second ratio. For example, imagine you're making hot sauce that calls for chile peppers and tomatoes in a ratio of 1:2. If you put in 1 chili pepper, you'll need to put in 2 tomatoes. If you put in 2 chili peppers, you'll need to put in 4 tomatoes to keep the ratio the same. You can multiply both numbers in the first ratio by 2 to get the corresponding numbers in the second ratio: 1 × 2 = 2 2 × 2 = 4 The ratios show the same relationship between chili peppers and tomatoes. Which of these ratios is equivalent to 2:3? A 2:6 B 4:6 C 3:2 D 3:4
