Question

Mr.Rowley has 16 homework papers and 14 exit tickets to return. Ms. Rivera has 64 homework papers and 60 exit tickets to return. For each teacher, write a ratio to represent the number of homework papers to number of exit tickets they have to return. Are the ratios equivalent? Explain.

Answer 1

Mr. Rowley
16:14

Ms. Rivera
64:60

If you try to simplify 64:60, you get 16:15.
64/4 = 16
60/4 = 15

So they are not equivalent because Ms. Rivera has 1 more exit ticket than Mr. Rowley.
