Exercise 1 Page 118

You can use cross products to determine if the ratios are equivalent.

No.

Practice makes perfect
To determine if the given ratios are equivalent, we will set them equal to one another and use the Cross Products Property. If the resulting equation is true, then the ratios are equivalent.
3/7? =9/14
3* 14? =9* 7
42≠ 63
No, the ratios are not equivalent because the cross products are not equal.
