We are given that ratios 16:14 and 64:60

We have to check if these ratios are equivalent 

We know that when two ratios a:b and c:d are equivalent. 

Then, a ×d =b ×c

We have a=16 , b=14 ,c=64 and d=60

Now, putting value we get

16 × 60 = 14 × 64

960 ≠ 896

 

Thus, 16/14 is not equivalent to 60/40
