Mr. Rowley has 16 homework papers and 14 exit tickets to return. Ms. Rivera has 64 homework papers and 60 exit tickets to return.

For each teacher, write a ratio to represent the number of homework papers to the number of exit tickets they have to return. Are the ratios equivalent? Explain.

Answer (3)

16:64 (Rowley to Rivera homework ratio) 14:60 (Rowley to Rivera exit ratio)
The ratios aren't equivalent because when they are simplified, the first ratio is 1:4, and the second is 7:30, thus meaning they aren't equal.

Mr. Rowley's ratio of homework papers to exit tickets simplifies to 8:7, while Ms. Rivera's ratio simplifies to 16:15. These two ratios are not equivalent as they represent different relationships. Therefore, Mr. Rowley and Ms. Rivera have different numbers of homework papers compared to exit tickets.
