Determine if the proportion is true 1/6= 3/18 Proportion is not true Proportion is true

Answer 1

Question: Determine if the proportion is true 1/6= 3/18

Solution:

we have the following equation that it may be true or false:

`(1)/(6)\text{ = }(3)/(18)`

But, the above equation is equivalent to:

`1\text{ x 18 = 3 x 6}`

But 1x 18 = 18, and 3x 6 = 18 so the above equation is equivalent to

`18\text{ = 18}`

The above equality always is true, so we can conclude that the proportion is true​.
