Simplify Ratio 42: To find equivalent ratios, we can multiply or divide both terms of the ratio by the same non-zero number. Let's start with the ratio 42. We can simplify this ratio by dividing both terms by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.Divide 2 by 2.22=1Divide 4 by 2.24=2The simplified ratio is 21.
Multiply by 3: Now let's find an equivalent ratio by multiplying both terms of the simplified ratio 21 by a number. We can choose any number, so let's multiply by 3. Multiply 1 by 3. 1×3=3 Multiply 2 by 3. 2×3=6 The new equivalent ratio is 63.
Multiply by 4: For the second equivalent ratio, let's multiply the terms of the simplified ratio 21 by another number, say 4.Multiply 1 by 4.1×4=4Multiply 2 by 4.2×4=8The second new equivalent ratio is 84.
