The 2 ratios are almost equivalent, but not quite. In order to tell if they are equivalent, there are a number of ways but the 2 most common are 1, finding the decimal equivalent of the fraction, and 2, finding the scale factor. 

1: Take 16, divide by 14. You should get something around 1.142. Take 64, divide by 60. You should get something around 1.066666.... Not equivalent.

2: Find the scale factor between the 2. To find scale factor, divide the larger numerator and larger denominator by the smaller numerator and smaller numerator. 64/16, 60/14. Not equal. 
16:14 =16/14
64:60=64/60
16/14=64/60
(We r doing the cross thing)
16x60=14x64
960=896
Is 960 equivalent (equal) to 869 ? No .
So they r not equivalent because the result is not the same.
