Question

What is the relationship between the ratios?

Answer 1

Answer:

NOT PROPORTIONAL

Step-by-step explanation:

The given two fractions are: $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{8}{10}$.

Proportional fractions are those which have the same value when to reduced to the simplest form.

Consider two fractions $\frac{p}{q}$ and $\frac{x}{y}$.

We say they are proportional if $p : q = x : y$.

Or, if $py = qx$ then we can say the fractions are proportional.

Here the fractions are:  $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{8}{10}$.

LHS: 5 X 10 = 50.

RHS: 8 X 8 = 64.

Clearly they are not equal. So, we can say these two fractions are not proportional.
