Equivalent Ratios ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Step 1 – Write the ratio as a fraction Step 2 – Simplify the fraction (Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of both numbers and divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF). Step 3 – Write the equivalent ratio in the same form as the question ,[object Object],[object Object],GCF = 4
