<h3>Solution (1):</h3>

<u>We know that:</u>

  • Given proportion: 2:12 = 5:28

Step-by step calculations:

<u>Simplify the LHS:</u>

  • 2:12 = 5:28
  • => 1:6 = 5:28

Remember:<em> (a:b = c:d) = (a x d = b x c)</em>

<u>Use cross multiplication:</u>

  • => 1:6 = 5:28
  • => 28 = 30 (False)
<h3>Solution (2):</h3>
  • No, because the cross products are not equivalent.
  • The proportion is not true, because 2/12 and 5/28 are not equivalent ratios.
