How do you write three equivalent ratios for 18/6?

Answer 1

Nova Allen

You have quite a choice as there is no limiting criteria. I have selected the following:

#3/1"; "9/3"; "36/18#

Write the ratios in fractional form

Initial condition:#" " 18/6#

#1^("st")" Equivalent "->(18-:6)/(6-:6) = 3/1#

#2^("nd")" Equivalent "-> (18-:2)/(6-:2)=9/3#

#3^("rd")" Equivalent "->(18xx2)/(6xx2) = 36/12#

To write three equivalent ratios for ( \frac{18}{6} ), you can multiply or divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero number. Here are three equivalent ratios:

( \frac{18}{6} = \frac{18 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{36}{12} )
( \frac{18}{6} = \frac{18 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{6}{2} )
( \frac{18}{6} = \frac{18 \times 5}{6 \times 5} = \frac{90}{30} )

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
