Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

1. 15 girls to 6 boys = 15:6

15/6= 5/2

2. 24 players to 3 teams = 24:3

24/3= 8/1=8

3. 48 worksheets to 12 students =48:12

48/12= 4/1

4. 4/7 and 24/35 are not proportional as they do not reduce to same ratio

5. 11/12 and 33/36 are proportional because they reduce to same same ratio(33/36=11/12)

6. 8/24 and 5/15 are proportional beacaue they reduce to same ratio(8/24=5/15=1/3)

7. 3/7 and 12/21 are not proportional because they do not reduce to same ratio(3/7≠12/21)

8. 25 cars in 5 days= 25/5= 5 cars each day. 60 cars in 12 days = 60/12=5 cars each day. Therefore they are proportional.

9. 14 books in 2 boxes= 7 books per box. 20 books in 3 boxes = 20/3= 6.667. Therefore they are not proportional.

10. 12 laps in 30 minutes =12/30=2/5

15 laps in 45 minutes =15/45=1/3. Therefore they are not proportional.
