1) Proportion a.

7 : 28 = 2 : 8

That means that the ratio 7 / 28 is equal to the ratio 2 : 8. 

You can verify the equality by simplifying to the simplest form:

     7 : 28 = 1 / 4 simplest form
     2 : 8 = 1 / 4 simplest form, then the proportion is right.

In words that is 7 is to 28 as 1 is to 4 ← answer


2) Proportion b.<span>. 3⁄1 = 18⁄6

</span><span>You can verify the proportion by simplifiying the second fraction:

</span><span>     18 / 6 = [18 / 6] / [ 6 / 6] = 3 / 1

In words: 81 is to 9 as 45 is to 5 ← answer


Proove it: 
      81 / 9 = 9
      45 / 9 = 9

Does 17/10 and 12/5 form a proportion?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

17/10 is not proportional to 12/5. Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.  17/10 as a ratio is 17:10 and 12/5 as a ratio would be 12:5. A proportional relationship for 12/5 would be 24/10.

Hope this helps :)

Luda [366]
If $26 represents the cost of  the 5 used CDs, than your formula would be "26+4x" ,x being the amount of extra CDs you purchase.


The number CDs minus 5 is our x value, because the first 5 are the used CDs bundled into the $26 group.

26+4(6-5)
26+4(1)
26+4
30

6 CDs would cost $30
