Question

Which of the following forms a proportion with ten over fourteen?

Answer 1

Something times one is something.\[5\times 1=5\]\[102\times 1=102\]\[x\times 1=x\]\[\frac{10}{14}\times 1=\frac{10}{14}\]

Answer 2

And something divided into groups that are the same size as that something give you one group.\[\frac{1}{1}=1\]\[\frac{5}{5}=1\]\[\frac{x}{x}=1\]\[\frac{1inch}{2.54cm}=1\]

Answer 3

So multiply \(\frac{10}{14}\) by anything equal to one will give you something proportional to \(\frac{10}{14}\)\[\frac{10}{14}\times\frac{1}{1}=\frac{10}{14}\]\[\frac{10}{14}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{20}{28}\]\[\frac{10}{14}\times\frac{9}{9}=\frac{90}{126}\]\[\frac{10}{14}\times\frac{234}{234}=\frac{2340}{3276}\]\[\frac{10}{14}\times\frac{x}{x}=\frac{10x}{14x}\]

Answer 4

Does that help?
