Find the number that makes the ratio equivalent to 60:8.
15:_
The given ratio is 60:8. To find the missing number, we need to divide both numbers in the ratio by the same factor to get an equivalent ratio.
The largest common factor of 60 and 8 is 4. Dividing both numbers by 4, we get:
60 ÷ 4 = 15
8 ÷ 4 = 2
So the equivalent ratio is 15:2.
Therefore, the missing number is 2.
