Cody and Aria are painting a mural. They decide they want part of the mural to have a purple background. Aria uses 7 tbsp. of blue to 2 tbsp. of red to make her purple paint. Cody is planning to use more and uses 21 tbsp. of blue to 6 tbsp. of red.
Are their ratios of purple mixture equivalent to one another's? (1 point)
• Yes, they are equivalent.
• No, Cody's has more red.
• No, Cody's has more blue.
• No, Aria's has more blue.

Yes, they are equivalent.
Since both ratios simplify to 7:2 (blue:red), their ratios of purple mixture are equivalent to one another's.

To determine which of the given ratios is equivalent to 3/2, you need to find a ratio that simplifies to the same value.
To simplify a ratio, you need to divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
In this case, the GCD of 3 and 2 is 1, which means the ratio 3/2 cannot be simplified any further.
Let's simplify each of the given ratios and see if any of them are equal to 3/2.
1 can be written as 1/1, and when simplified, it remains as 1/1.
9/6 can be simplified by finding the GCD of 9 and 6, which is 3. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3 yields: (9/3)/(6/3) = 3/2. Therefore, 9/6 is equivalent to 3/2.
2/3 cannot be simplified any further, so it remains as 2/3.
9/4 cannot be simplified any further, so it remains as 9/4.
From the given options, only 9/6 simplifies to 3/2, so the correct answer is 9/6.
