Answer:
[tex]\frac{2}{16} , \frac{7}{56} , \frac{10}{80}[/tex] are the ratios which are equivalent to [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio of the sand is 1 :8 gallon per second.
Two fractions are called equivalent fractions if in their lowest form they are equal to each other.
Now to find the equivalent ration, we need to multiply both numerator and denominator by the same number.
So, [tex]\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1 \times 2}{8 \times 2} = \frac{2}{16}[/tex]
Similarly, [tex]\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1 \times 7}{8 \times 7} = \frac{7}{56}[/tex]
and, So, [tex]\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1 \times 10}{8 \times 10} = \frac{10}{80}[/tex]
Also, each fraction when reduced equals 1/8.
Hence, [tex]\frac{2}{16} , \frac{7}{56} , \frac{10}{80}[/tex] are the ratios which are equivalent to [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
