A ratio can be expressed in 2 ways. Using a 'colon' or as a fraction.

7/10 To find equivalent ratios it is probably best to use fraction form.
7/10" is in "color(blue)"simplest form" This means that no other number, apart from 1, will divide into 7 and 10.
In this case we can choose any number to multiply the numerator and denominator, to create equivalent ratios.
color(red)"Choosing 2"
rArr(7xx2)/(10xx2)=14/20larr" equivalent ratio"
color(red)"Choosing 3"
rArr(7xx3)/(10xx3)=21/30larr"equivalent ratio"
