Basic Math Examples

$5 : 1 = 3 : 2$

Step 1

Convert the ratio to a fraction by making the left side of the ratio the numerator and the right side the denominator.

$\frac{5}{1} = 3 : 2$

Step 2

Divide $5$ by $1$ .

$5 = 3 : 2$

Step 3

Convert the ratio to a fraction by making the left side of the ratio the numerator and the right side the denominator.

$5 = \frac{3}{2}$

Step 4

Since $5 \neq \frac{3}{2}$ , there are no solutions.

No solution

Step 5

Since the fractional versions of the ratios are not equal, the ratios are not equivalent.

$5 : 1 \neq 3 : 2$
