Question

Determine if the following are in proportion :

32 , 48 , 140 , 120.

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The given numbers are : 32 , 48 , 140 , 120

First number is 32

Second number is 48

Third number is 140

Fourth number is 120

First number/second number :

`(N_1)/(N_2)=(32)/(48)\\\\=(2)/(3)\ ....(1)`

Third number/Fouth number :

`(N_3)/(N_4)=(140)/(120)\\\\=(7)/(6)\ ....(2)`

From equation (1) and (2) we can see that the ratio is not same. Hence, they are not in proportion.
