Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each ratio is irreducible, and they are different. Hence they are not the same value, so cannot be a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios.

5 : 3 = 40 : 24

13 : 8 = 39 : 24 . . . . not the same as 40 : 24

Explain why 20 is not a square number.

Marizza181 [45]
