What is 2/3 and 2 to 3
A mom wants to paint her house. She wants to paint it black, but she only has two colors: Brown and grey. She says that if she mixes 7 scoops of grey with 8 scoops of brown, she will get black. Her son disagrees and says that if she mixes 14 scoops of grey and 16 scoops of brown, she will get black. Are the numbers equivalent, or is one of them right?
They are both equivalent.
