ratio of 3:5 need help finding the answer

Question

an equivalent ratio if it was two times greater of 3:5

Answer 1

So in regards to ratios, think of fractions. If we have a ratio of 3:5, that means that in fraction form we can think of it as

3

---

5

If put this into a calculator (3 divided by 5), you will get a decimal of 0.6 as the answer. This means that any two numbers that divide and come to the same answer are equivalent to 3/5.

Now, from what it appears you are asking, they want you to find two other numbers that come to the same ratio / answer of 0.6, and that these numbers should be double. To do this, simply multiply the numerator and denominator by 2, which is double.

3 x 2 = 6

5 x 2 = 10

So our fraction now is

6

---

10

If you put that into a calculator (6 divided by 10), it will come to the same answer of 0.6. Therefore, this fraction / ratio is equivalent to the original.

If your answer is expected to be in ratio format, then it should be 6:10
