Question

does 5/8 and 6/12 form a proportion

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

To find out you to cross multiplication. so...\[8*12=96 \]

Answer 3

\[5*6=30\]

Answer 4

Since they arent equal then it means it isnt proportionate.

Answer 5

thanks

Answer 6

If it forms a proportion, then after cross multiplication, both sides would be equal. For example, if you had

\[\frac{3}{8} = \frac{9}{24}\]

After cross multiplication you get
(3)(24) = (9)(8)
72 = 72

Answer 7

Let try 5/8 and 6/12 to see if it forms a proportion:

\[\frac{5}{8} = \frac{6}{12}\]

After cross multiplication:
(5)(12) = (8)(6)
60 = 48?
False

Answer 8

Also we know it is not a proportion because
6/12 = 50%
5/8 > 50%

The percentages of both fractions must be equal in order for a proportion to exist.
