Let's solve each part of this "Equivalent Ratios" worksheet step by step.
---
We are given a ratio in the form of a fraction, and we need to write two equivalent ratios (i.e., fractions that represent the same value).
To find equivalent ratios, multiply or divide both numerator and denominator by the same number.
---
#### 1) $ \frac{5}{11} $
Multiply numerator and denominator by 2:
- $ \frac{5 \times 2}{11 \times 2} = \frac{10}{22} $
- Multiply by 3: $ \frac{15}{33} $
✔ Equivalent ratios: $ \frac{10}{22}, \frac{15}{33} $
---
#### 2) $ \frac{7}{8} $
Multiply by 2: $ \frac{14}{16} $
Multiply by 3: $ \frac{21}{24} $
✔ $ \frac{14}{16}, \frac{21}{24} $
---
#### 3) $ \frac{7}{4} $
Multiply by 2: $ \frac{14}{8} $
Multiply by 3: $ \frac{21}{12} $
✔ $ \frac{14}{8}, \frac{21}{12} $
---
#### 4) $ \frac{11}{5} $
Multiply by 2: $ \frac{22}{10} $
Multiply by 3: $ \frac{33}{15} $
✔ $ \frac{22}{10}, \frac{33}{15} $
---
#### 5) $ \frac{4}{5} $
Multiply by 2: $ \frac{8}{10} $
Multiply by 3: $ \frac{12}{15} $
✔ $ \frac{8}{10}, \frac{12}{15} $
---
#### 6) $ \frac{8}{5} $
Multiply by 2: $ \frac{16}{10} $
Multiply by 3: $ \frac{24}{15} $
✔ $ \frac{16}{10}, \frac{24}{15} $

Two ratios are equivalent if their cross products are equal.
That is:
$ \frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} $ iff $ a \cdot d = b \cdot c $
---
#### 7) $ \frac{8}{7} $ and $ \frac{9}{7} $
Cross multiply:
$ 8 \cdot 7 = 56 $, $ 7 \cdot 9 = 63 $ → Not equal
✘ Not equivalent
---
#### 8) $ \frac{4}{7} $ and $ \frac{3}{4} $
$ 4 \cdot 4 = 16 $, $ 7 \cdot 3 = 21 $ → Not equal
✘ Not equivalent
---
#### 9) $ \frac{7}{6} $ and $ \frac{11}{3} $
$ 7 \cdot 3 = 21 $, $ 6 \cdot 11 = 66 $ → Not equal
✘ Not equivalent
---
#### 10) $ \frac{11}{10} $ and $ \frac{5}{6} $
$ 11 \cdot 6 = 66 $, $ 10 \cdot 5 = 50 $ → Not equal
✘ Not equivalent
---
#### 11) $ \frac{5}{7} $ and $ \frac{9}{2} $
$ 5 \cdot 2 = 10 $, $ 7 \cdot 9 = 63 $ → Not equal
✘ Not equivalent
---
#### 12) $ \frac{5}{12} $ and $ \frac{4}{3} $
$ 5 \cdot 3 = 15 $, $ 12 \cdot 4 = 48 $ → Not equal
✘ Not equivalent

We solve using cross multiplication.
---
#### 13) $ \frac{2}{9} = \frac{r}{36} $
Cross multiply:
$ 2 \cdot 36 = 9 \cdot r $
$ 72 = 9r $
$ r = \frac{72}{9} = 8 $
✔ $ r = 8 $
---
#### 14) $ \frac{k}{24} = \frac{11}{8} $
Cross multiply:
$ k \cdot 8 = 24 \cdot 11 $
$ 8k = 264 $
$ k = \frac{264}{8} = 33 $
✔ $ k = 33 $
---
#### 15) $ \frac{2}{5} = \frac{8}{z} $
Cross multiply:
$ 2 \cdot z = 5 \cdot 8 $
$ 2z = 40 $
$ z = 20 $
✔ $ z = 20 $
---
#### 16) $ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{z} $
Cross multiply:
$ 3 \cdot z = 2 \cdot 15 $
$ 3z = 30 $
$ z = 10 $
✔ $ z = 10 $
---
#### 17) $ \frac{9}{8} = \frac{r}{16} $
Cross multiply:
$ 9 \cdot 16 = 8 \cdot r $
$ 144 = 8r $
$ r = \frac{144}{8} = 18 $
✔ $ r = 18 $
---
#### 18) $ \frac{7f}{7} = \frac{11}{7} $
Wait — this is written as $ \frac{7f}{7} = \frac{11}{7} $
Simplify left side: $ \frac{7f}{7} = f $
So:
$ f = \frac{11}{7} $
But let’s check if it's really $ \frac{7f}{7} $. That simplifies to $ f $, so:
$ f = \frac{11}{7} $
✔ $ f = \frac{11}{7} $ or $ 1\frac{4}{7} $
Alternatively, if it was meant to be $ \frac{7}{f} = \frac{11}{7} $, that would be different. But based on what’s written: $ \frac{7f}{7} = \frac{11}{7} $, then yes:
$ f = \frac{11}{7} $
✔ $ f = \frac{11}{7} $
