Question

Which two ratios form a proportion?

Answer 1

Answer:

D)   3:4 and 15:20

Explanation:

if we reduce both the ratios we will get the same result that 3:4.

if we divide 15 and 20 with 5, we will get the ratio 15:20 reduced to 3:4

Answer 2

Answer:

D) 3:4 & 15:20

Explanation:

Ratios that form a proportion are ratios that, when divided or multiplied by the same number to both sides of the ratio, would equal the other.

A) is not a proportion, because the numerator was multiplied by 2, but the denominator was multiplied by 3.

B) is not a proportion, because the numerator was multiplied by 3, but the denominator was multiplied by 3.75.

C) is not a proportion, because the numerator was multiplied by 4, but the denominator was multiplied by 4.5

D) is a proportion, because both the numerator and denominator was multiplied by 5 to get the other ratio:

3 x 5 = 15

4 x 5 = 20
