40 feet is to 60 feet as 4 feet is to 6 feet whats the proportion

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the proportion is 4/6 or 2/3 which can be written 2:3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so either is right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says do not simplify

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

yep... ratios are another way of writing fractions... simplifying is just a case of finding the largest number that divides into both numbers... in this case 4:6 it was 2

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well then its just 4:6 or even 40 :60.... you don't write units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find decinal rotation 135%

Directrix (directrix):

A proportion is two equal ratios (think of them as fractions) so 40 feet is to 60 feet as 4 feet is to 6 feet 40/60 = 4/6
