Answer 2

Answer:

D. 2:1 & 6:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion means equal so we need to see which ratios are equal.

To do that we need to make one fo the numbers in the ratio equal the corresponding number in the other ratio, then see if the other matches.

A:

1:2 & 4:2

The second number is already the same but the first isn't, therefore it is not proportional.

B:

1:2 & 6:3

To get 1 to equal 6 we must multiply it by 6, and what you do to one side you must do to the other so we have to multiply 2 by 6 as well

6:12 & 6:3

The first numbers are the same but the second isn't, therefore it is not proportional.

C:

2:1 & 2:4

The first numbers are the same but the second isn't, therefore it is not proportional

D:

2:1 & 6:3

to get 2 to equal 6 we need to multiply it by 3, which means we have to multiu 1 by 3 too

6:3 & 6:3

These are equal so this is proportional.
