Question

2. Describe two methods to determine whether ratios form a proportion.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Write both ratios as fractions and reduce them completely. If they are the same fraction, the ratios form a proportion.

2. Write both ratios as fractions. Do the cross products by multiplying the denominator of each fraction by the numerator of the other fraction. If the cross products are equal, the ratios form a proportion.
