What ratio forms a proportion with 14/42? A. 1/4 B. 7/21 C. 12/40 D. 28/80

Answer 1

Hey there!

"What ratio forms a proportion with $\frac{14}{42}$ ?"

              - $\frac{14}{45} =0.56$ (for the decimal)

• $A) \frac{1}{4}$ $=0.25$ $(incorrect)$
• $B) \frac{7}{21}$ $=0.33$ $(Incorrect)$
• $C) \frac{12}{40}$ $0.3$ $(incorrect)$
• $D) \frac{28}{80}$ $0.7$ $(incorrect)$

But in order for you to solve this particular equation you'd have to go in with two (like multiplying by two)

• $1\times2= 2$ ;   $4\times2 = 8$ $(incorrect)$
• $7\times 2= 14$ ; $21\times2 = 42$ $(correct)$
• $12 \times2 = 24$ ; $40\times 2 = 80$ $(incorrect)$
• $2 \times 28 = 56$ ; $2\times 80 = 160$ $(incorrect)$

Your result: $\boxed{Answer: B. \frac{7}{21} }$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
