Question

Write each statement as a proportion using fractions. a. 25 is to 75 as 50 is to 150. b. 40 is to 90 as 8 is to 18.

Answer 1

Part (a):
=========
The statement ⇒⇒⇒ 25 is to 75 as 50 is to 150
Can be written using fractions as following

25 : 75 = 50 : 150

∴ $\frac{25}{75} = \frac{50}{150}$

Part (b):
=========
The statement ⇒⇒⇒ 40 is to 90 as 8 is to 18
Can be written using fractions as following

40 : 90 = 8 : 18

∴ $\frac{40}{90} = \frac{8}{18}$
