Question

Do the ratios 4/2 and 10/5 form a proportion? Yes or no

Answer 1

Answer:

These are both 20 so that means that this is proportional, yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi.

To figure this out we can do something called cross multiplying to find a cross product. If we do this and our two answers are equal then it is indeed a proportion.

Here is how we do this.

$\frac{4}{2}$    $\frac{10}{5}$

So basically what we are doing is multiplying across in a diagonal direction.

Diagonal meaning like a slash / .

So in this case we would multiply the 4 and the 5 , since they're diagonal from each other.

Do the same for the 2 and the 10.

So we have to multiply :

4 x 5

2 x 10

=

20

These are both 20 so that means that this is proportional, yes.

Hope this helps.
