Unit 4: Ratios and Rates – Equivalent Ratios (C)
Read each question carefully. When writing ratios based on word
problems, be sure to begin with a word ratio.
Express the ratio in simplest form. Remember to convert all
measurements into like terms.
1. 36 : 20
4. 9 yards : 9 feet
2. 24 : 64
5. 20 weeks : 14 days
3. 45 : 90
6. 32 ounces : 8 pints
State whether each pair of ratios are equivalent. If it is easier to rewrite
them as fractions to reduce and compare them, feel free to do so!
7. 13 : 15 and 30 : 26
8. 54 : 18 and 18 : 6
Find the missing term of each pair of equivalent ratios.
