Question

15. Which one of the following statements expresses a true proportion?
A. 3 : 5 = 12 : 20
B. 14 : 6 = 28 : 18
C. 42 : 7 = 6 : 2
D. 2 : 3 = 3 : 2

Answer 1

Do you know what proportions are?

Answer 2

Yes, I'm just confused about what it's asking. I thought it was D but it wasn't. :/

Answer 3

D is not right.

Answer 4

So if D is not an answer, which it obviously isn't, do you have any other idea of what the correct answer is?

Answer 5

Bascially they have to have the same... like "value" for example: 1/2 is 0.5 and 2/4 is also 0.5

Answer 6

Why did you go for D?

Answer 7

3 : 5 = 12 : 20

3/5 = 12/20

can you do it from here?

Answer 8

Listen, I just want some help. I don't need to be made to feel like I am stupid. But yes, I can. Thanks for the help.

Answer 9

So you have to verify if each proportion is true, if any of the choices give you true, then that is your answer.
