5.5:4, 11:8, 22:16, & 44:32 *all* have the same ratio. Additional equal ratios can be determined by multiplying *both* the 11 and the 8 by any number. Example (1): "5" 5 x 11 and 5 x 8 for a 55:40 ratio. It is much more desirable to reduce the numbers to lowest whole form - hence expressed as 11:8 ("8 to 11"). A second example using "3/4" (or the decimal equal .75) .75 x 11 and .75 x 8 for an 8.25:6 ratio. Again, whole numbers are preferable unless they get very large.

How do i do eqivalent ratios

Ratios are like fractions: to make an equivalent ratio you simply multiply both sides of the ratio by the same non-zero number. 1:2 is equivalent to 2:4 (both sides multiplied by 2). 10:12 is equivalent to 5:6 (both sides multiplied by 1/2).

How do I find the ratio of a statue made from a mixture of copper and zinc? It is a ratio of 11:4

11 parts copper and 4 parts zinc for a total of 15 parts.
Thus 11/15 copper and 4/11 zinc.
11/15 of 75 pounds is 55 pounds. 4/15 of 75 pounds is 20 pounds.
Hence 55 pounds of copper and 20 pounds of zinc.

However, if you really want to know the ratio of the statue, then it's given in the problem as 11:4.

Write a ratio equivalent to 7:17

Hello,
Read the definition of equivalent ratios. Choose the numbers a and b such that a/b=7/17. (Here is a HINT: The operation to perform to obtain a from 7 and b from 17 is the inverse operation that you use to reduce a fraction to its simplest form.)
Once you dtermine how you are going to construct a and b, the calculator can then help you express each one as a single number.
Sorry I cannot be more specific: You have to make a little effort to understand what you are supposed to be doing.
