PLZ HELP ME I will medal+fan you for BEST response. Use common denominators to determine whether the ratios form a proportion. 6 : 9 and 9 : 12 A. Yes. They form a proportion. B. No. They do not form a proportion.

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

how is it A explain it to me plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is A because they are equadistances apart so yes they form a proportion

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

@StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

You're incorrect @jennybaeeee @heather_theginger

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

6:9 and 9:12 they can be written as 6/9 and 9/12....one thing to remember is that proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions. 6/9 and 9/12 are not equivalent and therefore, not proportional

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

You have to view them as fractions. Using common denominators, you cannot make these fractions identical, meaning they are not proportional Plus..what @texaschic101 said. :)

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

so the answer is B ?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mhm.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
