A proportion is a ratio equaling another ratio. 18/38 is one ratio. If you reduce 18/38 to 9/19, you can write 18/38 = 9/19. That's a proportion.

ik but nun of the answer choses match that

anonymous · Answer

The one answer was 9/29, right?

mathstudent55 · Answer

Is this all the question states? Where are the choices for answers?

anonymous · Answer

mhmm

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 7 }{ 27 }\frac{ 24 }{ 44 } \frac{ 9 }{ 29 } \frac{ 27 }{ 57 }$$

anonymous · Answer

Well i tried subtracting 9 from the top and bottom,and thats what i got..

mathstudent55 · Answer

You have 18/38 = (9 * 2)/(19 * 2) = 9/19

The choices are:
7/27 = 7/27 (can't be reduced bec 7 is prime)
24/44 = (6 * 4)/(11 * 4) = 6/11
9/29 = 9/29 (can't be reduced bec 29 is prime)
27/57 = (9 * 3)/(19 * 3) = 9/19

Now compare the reduced 18/38 with each of the reduced choices.
