Question

Determine if each pair of ratios forms a proportion. Show all work!

7/C = 35/60

Answer 1

C = 12

Step-by-step explanation

Ratio is a division. For the two ratios to be proportional, then they must be the same after been simplified to their simplest form.

7/C = 35/60

35 has been divided by 5 to get 7. 60 must also be dived by 5 for the ratios to be proportional.

60 ÷ 5 = 12

∴ C = 12.

7/12 = 35/60
