Do ratios 15:5 and 6:2 form a proportion?
1 answer:
For two ratios to form a proportion they have to be equal.
To see if two ratios are equal we express them in their simplest form.
In this case we notice that in the first ratio both numbers are multiples of five, then:
In the second case we notice that both numbers are multiples of 2, then:
Since both ratios can be simplified to the same final ratio, they form a proportion.

So every 5 inches in height, there are 32 marbles. You want to know how many marbles there are per 18 inches in height.
To get from 5 to 18, you multiply by 3.6.
Do the same thing to the numerator; 32 × 3.6 = 115.2.
Since 0.2 marbles is no marbles, you round down.
There are 115 marbles in the box.
