What is an Equivalent Ratio?

An equivalent ratio is a pair of ratios that represent the same proportional relationship between two quantities. In other words, two ratios are equivalent if they can be simplified to the same fraction or if one can be obtained from the other by multiplying or dividing both terms by the same number.

How to use the Equivalent Ratios Calculator?

1. Enter the first ratio

In the first input group labeled “Enter first ratio (a:b):”, input the numerator (a) and denominator (b) of the first ratio into their respective fields.

2. Enter the second ratio

In the second input group labeled “Enter second ratio (c:d):”, input the numerator (c) and denominator (d) of the second ratio into their respective fields.

3. Calculate

Click the “Calculate” button to process the entered ratios. The calculator will display whether the ratios are equivalent or not.

• If the ratios are equivalent, it will show a table of equivalent ratios up to a multiplier of 5.
• If the ratios are not equivalent, it will provide the simplified form of the second ratio.
