Question

Which proportion is not true?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 4/7 = 24/28

Step-by-step explanation:

In any proportion, the value of the numerator and denominator does not change if is multiplied by the same value.  

We know that 4*6 = 24, so the numerator holds true.  However, 7*6 is 42.  In the same vein, 7*4 is 28, so the denominator would hold true.  However, 4*4 is 16.  Thus, the proportion has not been multiplied by the same value.  

In order to get 24/28 from 4/7, you would have to multiply by 6/4, which is not the same value.
