Option A

<u>Answer:  </u>

\frac{36}{54} \text { and } \frac{6}{9} are proportional.

<u>Solution:</u>

If two fractions are equal, than it is said to be in proportion.

Case 1:  

Consider option A

Given fractions are \frac{36}{54} \text { and } \frac{6}{9}

\frac{36}{54}=\frac{9 \times 2 \times 2}{9 \times 2 \times 3}=\frac{2}{3} \text { and } \frac{6}{9}=\frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 3}=\frac{2}{3}

Hence both the fractions are equal. So they are propotional.

Case 2:

Consider option 2

Given fractions \frac{6}{7} \text { and } \frac{16}{21} cannot be simplified further. Also both the fractions are not equal. So they are not propotional.

Case 3:

Consider option 3

Given fractions are \frac{21}{36} \text { and } \frac{21}{42}

\frac{21}{36}=\frac{7 \times 3}{6 \times 6}=\frac{7}{12} \text { and } \frac{21}{42}=\frac{7 \times 3}{6 \times 7}=\frac{1}{2}

Hence \frac{7}{12} \text { and } \frac{1}{2} are not equal. Hence they are not propotional.

Case 4:

Consider option 4  

Given fractions are \frac{14}{35} \text { and } \frac{21}{42}

\frac{14}{35}=\frac{7 \times 2}{7 \times 5}=\frac{2}{5} \text { and } \frac{21}{42}=\frac{7 \times 3}{7 \times 6}=\frac{1}{2}

Hence \frac{2}{5} \text { and } \frac{1}{2} are not equal. Hence they are not propotional.

The answer for the given question is option A

abruzzese [7]
This is the concept of arithmetic. To calculate the percentage of time life has existed we proceed as follows;
According to history:
The age of earth is 4.6 billion years
the age of life is as it appeared from unicellular is 3.8 billion years.
thus the percentage of the above will be:
3.8/4.6 x 100
=0.82609x100
=82.609%

A recipe requires 4 cups of flour to make 3 dozen cookies. How many cups of flour are needed to make 10 dozen cookies?
VikaD [51]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  13 1/3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume flour is proportional to cookies, so we have ...

  cups/dozens = x/10 = 4/3

Multiplying by 10 gives ...

  x = 40/3 = 13 1/3

13 1/3 cups of flour are needed for 10 dozen cookies.
