Question

PLEASE I NEED HELP!! what are two ways that you can tell that two ratios form a proportion? i really need to pass this test to get my grades up, I'm not trying to cry my whole winter break.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a:b = c:d. Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fraction in it’s simplest form. Another way is to see if the numbers in the ratios are factors or multiples of each other. For example, 10:5 and 30:15. 10:15= 10/5 and 30:15= 30/15. Then you put it in simple form. 10/5 = 2 and

30/15 = 2. Therefore 10:5 and 30:15 are proportional.

Hope this helps :)
