Question

Check true if the pair of fractions form a proportion Check False if it does not.3/6 = 5/8

Answer 1

Given:

`(3)/(6)=(5)/(8)`

To find:

Check true if the pair of fractions form a proportion check False if it does not.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

A proportion is an equation comparing two ratios.

If the ratios are equivalent, the proportion is true. If not, the proportion is false.

Finding the cross multiplication we get,

`\begin{gathered} 3*8=5*6 \\ 48=30 \end{gathered}`

Since they are not equal.

So, the pair of fractions doesn't form a proportion.

Therefore, False.

Final answer:

False.

The pair of fractions doesn't form a proportion.
