Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios would be equivalent if 5:18 was 5:10 instead.
Answer: No; they are not equivalent.
_____________
Step-by-step explanation:
_____________
Note: The ratio: " 1:2 " ; can be written as: " [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] " ;
The ratio: " 5:18 " ; can be written as: " [tex]\frac{5}{18}[/tex] " .
→ " [tex]\frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{5}{18}[/tex] " ;
_____________
→ " [tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{(1*9)}{(2*9)} = \frac{9}{18}[/tex] " ;
→ " [tex]\frac{9}{18} \neq \frac{5}{18}[/tex] " ;
_____________
→ " [tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{(1*5)}{(2*5)} = \frac{5}{10}[/tex] " ;
→ " [tex]\frac{5}{10} \neq \frac{5}{18}[/tex] " ;
_____________
→ " [tex]\frac{5}{18} = \frac{(5/9)}{(18/9)} = \frac{0.5555555555...}{2}[/tex] " ;
_____________
→ " [tex]\frac{0.555555555...}{2} \neq \frac{1}{2}[/tex] " ;
_____________
→ " [tex]\frac{5}{18} = \frac{(5/5)}{(18/5)} =\frac{1}{(3.6)}[/tex] " ;
→ " [tex]\frac{1}{(3.6)} \neq \frac{1}{2}[/tex] " .
