Do the ratios 4ft./6ft. and 12sec/18sec form a proportion? Why or why not?

Answer:

Yes! There are 3 different explanations I have. Pick your favorite.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are asked to see if the following equation holds:

\frac{4 \text{ ft }}{6 \text{ ft}}=\frac{12 \text{ sec }}{18 \text{sec}}

The units cancel out ft/ft=1 and sec/sec=1.

So we are really just trying to see if 4/6 is equal to 12/18

Or you could cross multiply and see if the products are the same on both sides:

\frac{4}{6}=\frac{12}{18}

Cross multiply:

4(18)=6(12)

72=72

Since you have the same thing on both sides then the ratios given were proportional.

OR!

Put 4/6 and 12/18 in your calculator.  They both come out to have the same decimal expansion of .66666666666666666(repeating) so the ratios gives are proportional.

OR!

Reduce 12/18 and reduce 4/6 and see if the reduced fractions are same.

12/18=2/3  (I divided top and bottom by 6)

4/6=2/3  (I divided top and bottom by 2)

They are equal to the same reduced fraction so they are proportional.

Bogdan [553]
150 g flour for 12 cakes
x g flour for 30 cakes
x = (150 x 30) : 12 = 375 g of flour

another method:

150 flour for 12 cakes
??? for 30 cakes

30 : 12 = 2.5
150 x 2.5 = 375 g flour
