HELP ASAP!! Use cross products to determine which are valid proportions.

Mathematics

Answer:

Proportions:

18/8 and 9/4

4/7 and 10/17.5

<em>Everything else is not a proportion</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find if two fractions are a proportion, we need to set each up as a fraction. Then, we multiply both diagonal values. If we get the same value, they are proportionate.

\frac{2}{3} and \frac{9}{12}:

12\cdot 2= 24\\\\9 \cdot 3 = 27\\\\24 \neq 27

So these aren't proportionate.

\frac{3}{8} and \frac{6}{141}:

141\cdot 3 = 423\\\\8 \cdot 6 = 48\\\\48 \neq 423

So these aren't proportionate either.

\frac{18}{8} and \frac{9}{4}:

18 \cdot 4 = 72\\\\9 \cdot 8 = 72\\\\72 = 72

So this is proportionate.

\frac{775}{1} (since 775 is just that over 1) and \frac{27}{20}:

775 \cdot 20 = 15500\\\\1 \cdot 27 = 27\\\\27 \neq 15500

So this isn't proportionate.

\frac{4}{7} and \frac{10}{17.5}

4\cdot 17.5 = 70\\\\7 \cdot 10 = 70\\\\70 = 70

So this is proportionate.

Hope this helped!

The ordered pairs (1,6), (,25), (3,36), (4,49) and (5, 64) represent a function. what is a rule that represents this function?
vodka [1.7K]
I believe this is a function. I am not sure because one of the pairs only has a y value.
But the rule is there can only be one x value for one y value so for example, you can have (3.7) and (3,9) and the same for the y values.
