Here is the solution for the eqns.
In words: thirty two million, five thousand and eightin
expanded notation: 30 000 000 + 2 000 000 + +0 + 0 + 5000 + 0 + 0 + 8
You will divide eveything by 6
you will end up with
Lets check...
42/56 = 56/64
cross multiply
(56)(56) = (42)(64)
3136 = 2688...(incorrect)...these are not proportional
proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
42/56 = 3/4
56/64 = 7/8
as u can see, they are not equivalent fractions...so they are not proportional
