    17. No 18. Yes 19. Yes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are several ways you can determine the equivalence of two ratios:

    Reduce each one to lowest terms. Equivalent ratios will have identical lowest terms. Perform the division indicated by the ratio. Equivalent ratios will have identical quotients. Multiply each ratio by the product of the denominators. Equivalent ratios will have identical products.

    For these problems, these methods look like ...

    17. In lowest terms: 8/5 and 6/5. (not equivalent)

    Performing the division: 1.6 and 1.2. (not equivalent)

    Multiplying each by 100: 160 and 120. (not equivalent)

    ___

    18. In lowest terms: 1/20 and 1/20. (equivalent)

    Performing the division: 0.05 and 0.05. (equivalent)

    Multiplying each by 1000: 50 and 50. (equivalent)

    ___

    19. In lowest terms: 1/4 and 1/4. (equivalent)

    Performing the division: 0.25 and 0.25. (equivalent)

    Multiplying each by 249.6: 62.4 and 62.4. (equivalent)
