2/7 and 10/35

xguardians · Answer

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

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

anonymous · Answer

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
