Ratios

Are the ratios equal or not equal? 8:12 = 40 : 60 ?

Equal ratios, because if you can multiply both parts of the ratio by 5 to show they are equal. 8 x 5 = 40 and 12 x 5= 60

Are the ratios equal or not equal? 3 : 7 and 8 : 14 ?

Not equal, because if you multiply both parts of the ratio by 2, the second ratio isn't correct. 7 x 2 = 14, but 3 x 2 does not equal 8.

First place gets $50 , second place gets $40. How much does first place get when second place gets $20?
