Explanation

Answer

Problem

The equivalent of a ratio of 15:20 is __.

Step

Given the ratio

\$15 : 20\$

Step

First, write the given ratio as a fraction

\$15/20\$

Step

Multiply the same number of antecedent and the consequent by a positive integer

\$(15 \times 2)/(20 \times 2)\$ = \$30/40\$

Step

Represent this fraction in the ratio form

\$ 30 : 40 \$

SumUp

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

Choice.A

This is correct. After simplification, the given ratio of 15:20 is equivalent to 3 : 4

30 : 40

Choice.B

This is not the correct equivalent ratio; the order is reversed

40 : 30

Choice.C

Dividing both parts by 30 gives 1 : 2. Incorrect

30 : 60

Choice.D

Incorrect.This is not the simplified form, and it does not represent the equivalent ratio

45 : 40
