The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 5 to 6. What is an equivalent ratio?

There are many possible answers. 10:12 15:18 20:24 25:30 30:36

The easiest way to find an equivalent ratio is simply by timesing one number by something, and then timesing the other number by the same one.
For example: 5 X 2 = 10. 6 X 2 = 12. 5:2 = 10:12.
5 X 3 = 15. 6 X 3 = 18. 5:2 = 15:18.
Hope this helps :)

To find an equivalent ratio to 5:6, you can multiply both numbers by the same factor. For example, multiplying by 2 gives the ratio 10:12, and multiplying by 3 gives 15:18. There are many other equivalent ratios like 20:24 or 30:36 by using different multipliers.
