Answer

The two ratios are equal.

Work Step by Step

To check whether the ratios are equal we set them equal to each other and cross multiply: $\dfrac{7}{2}=\dfrac{35}{10}$ By checking the product of the means and the product of the extremes, we get $$2\times 35=70=7\times 10$$ That is, the two ratios are equal.
