The other way to find if two ratios are equivalent is to set them equal to each other (proportion)and cross multiply. e.g. 20 miles 45 miles 5 hours = 9 hours

Slide 11

Equivalent Ratios When setting up a proportion the same units are on top and the same are on bottom. e.g. 20 miles 45 miles 5 hours = 9 hours

Slide 12

Equivalent Ratios The other way to find if two ratios are equivalent is to set them equal to each other and cross multiply. e.g. 20 45 5 = 9 5 x 45 = ?

Slide 13

Equivalent Ratios The other way to find if two ratios are equivalent is to set them equal to each other and cross multiply. e.g. 20 45 5 = 9 5 x 45 = 225

Slide 14

Equivalent Ratios The other way to find if two ratios are equivalent is to set them equal to each other and cross multiply. e.g. 20 45 5 = 9 5 x 45 = 225 20 x 9 = ?

Slide 15

Equivalent Ratios The other way to find if two ratios are equivalent is to set them equal to each other and cross multiply. e.g. 20 45 5 = 9 5 x 45 = 225 and 20 x 9 = 180

Slide 16

Equivalent Ratios The other way to find if two ratios are equivalent is to set them equal to each other and cross multiply. e.g. 20 45 5 = 9 Does 225 = 180 ?

Slide 17

Equivalent Ratios The other way to find if two ratios are equivalent is to set them equal to each other and cross multiply. e.g. 20 45 5 = 9 225 180, they are not equivalent.

Slide 18

Equivalent Ratios Use either method.

Equivalent Ratios Is this a true statement? 5 2 6 = 3

Slide 26

Equivalent Ratios Is this a true statement? 5 2 6 = 3 Does 5 x 3 = 6 x 2?

Slide 27

Equivalent Ratios Is this a true statement? 5 2 6 = 3 Does 5 x 3 = 6 x 2? 15 12 It is not a true statement.

Slide 36

Equivalent Ratios On a recent Saturday Mike rode 42 miles in 3 hours in the morning. In the afternoon he rode 56 miles in 4 hours. Are these equivalent ratios?

Slide 37

Equivalent Ratios On a recent Saturday Mike rode 42 miles in 3 hours in the morning. In the afternoon he rode 56 miles in 4 hours. Are these equivalent ratios? 42 miles 56 miles 3 hours = 4 hours Remember When setting up a proportion, the same units must be on the top and the same units must be on the bottom.

Slide 38

Equivalent Ratios On a recent Saturday Mike rode 42 miles in 3 hours in the morning. In the afternoon he rode 56 miles in 4 hours. Are these equivalent ratios? 42 miles 56 miles 3 hours = 4 hours 3 x 56 = 42 x 4 168 = 168 They are equivalent
