Question

I’m struggling to answer this question on my test, can someone explain it to me?

Answer 1

Correct answer is Option A: 18/48 = 21/56

You’ll have to divide the numerator by the denominator of each fraction to see whether they have the same quotient:

18/48 = 0.375
21/56 = 0.375


The other options are not proportional.

B) 20/28 = 15/18:

20/28 = 0.714
15/18 = 0.833

Thus, 20/28 ≠ 15/18

C). 3/5 = 13/10
3/5 = 0.6
13/10 = 1.3

Hence, 3/5 ≠ 13/10

D) 7/10 = 10/7
7/10 = 0.7
10/7 = 1.43

Thus, 7/10 ≠ 10/7

These solutions prove that the correct answer is A) 18/48 = 21/56
