Question

a saltwater solution for an aquarium calls for 35 parts salt to 1000 parts water. tareq used 7 tablespoons of salt and 200 tablespoons of water. the proportional relationships select choice equivalent because select choice

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio of salt to water in the aquarium - solution

The ratio of salt to water in the aquarium - solution is $\frac{35}{1000}=\frac{35\div5}{1000\div5}=\frac{7}{200}$.

Step2: Find the ratio of salt to water in Tareq's solution

The ratio of salt to water in Tareq's solution is $\frac{7}{200}$.

Step3: Compare the two ratios

Since the ratio of salt to water in the aquarium - solution $\frac{7}{200}$ is equal to the ratio of salt to water in Tareq's solution $\frac{7}{200}$, the proportional relationships are equivalent.

Answer:

are; the ratios of salt to water are the same ($\frac{35}{1000}=\frac{7}{200}$)
