Question

Which ratio is proportional to 10/24>?

Answer 1

\(\Huge\color{blue}{ \sf \frac{10}{24}= \frac{10 \color{red} {\times x } }{24\color{red} {\times x } } }\)

Answer 2

whether x is a fraction or a whole number. (no mater what x is)

Answer 3

> that is not suppose to be there

Answer 4

I figured :)

Answer 5

you see what I mean. you can divide top and bottom by any number (as long it's divided by same thing on top as on bottom) and get a ratio that's equivalent.

Answer 6

like 5/12 (for instance)

Answer 7

so 5/8

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

\(\huge\color{green}{ \frac{10}{24} }\) \(\huge\color{green}{ =\frac{10\color{red} {\div 2 } }{24\color{red} {\div2 } } =\frac{?}{?} }\)

you tell me

Answer 10

5/12

Answer 11

there is no 5/12

Answer 12

what other options do you have ?

Answer 13

A-35/84
B-5/6
C-20/36
D5/8

Answer 14

you know that B and D don't work, because the only proportion with a nominator of 5, is with denominator of 12.

right?

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

10/24
does C work?

checking...
20/36

to get 20 you multiply ten TIMES TWO
but if you multiply 24 times 2, you DO NOT get 36

Answer 17

i see

Answer 18

and to get a, multiply top and bottom times 7/2
