Finding equivalent ratios in our daily lives is easier than you might think! Here are some simple examples to help you understand:

1. Cooking:

   • Imagine a recipe that needs 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of sugar.
   • That’s a ratio of 2:1.
   • If you use 4 cups of flour and 2 cups of sugar, you still keep the same ratio. (That’s 4:2!)

2. Scale Models:

   • Think about a model car.
   • It might be made at a ratio of 1:10 compared to the real car.
   • So, if the real car is 5 meters long, the model should be 0.5 meters long.

3. Mixing Paints:

   • When you mix paints, you might want a specific color.
   • Let’s say you mix them in a ratio of 3:1.
   • If you double that to 6:2, you will still get the same beautiful color!

By looking at these examples, it’s easy to see how ratios show up in many parts of our lives!
