Question

Do the ratios form a proportion? Explain why or why not. Show all work.

2/7 and 10/35

Answer 1

Yes, if you multiply \[\frac{ 2 }{ 7 } * 5\] that is equal to\[\frac{ 10 }{ 35 }\]

Answer 2

If you multiply the bottom and top is what I meant to say.

Answer 3

To compare ratios first see the numerator and denominator seperately.

numerators are
2 and 10
Which is 2*5 =10

denominators
7 and 5
which is 7*5 =35

If we multiply the numerator and denominator of any fraction by the same number
then the resulting fraction is a proportion
