Jim read 24 pages in 40 minutes on Tuesday and 18 pages in 24 minutes on Wednesday. Are the ratios of pages read to minutes on Tuesday and Wednesday proportional? Drag and drop to complete the statement.

Proportional
Not proportional

Answer 1

Not proportional, because Jim read 24 pages in 40 minutes on Tuesday and 18 pages in 24 minutes on Wednesday.

Answer 2

Answer: Not proportional

Explanation:

Ratio of pages read by Jim on Tuesday to minutes =
`(24)/(40)=(3)/(5)=3:5`

Ratio of pages read by Jim on Wednesday to minutes =
`(18)/(24)=(3)/(4)=3:4`

But
`(3)/(5)\\eq (3)/(4)`

Therefore, the ratios of pages read to minutes on Tuesday and Wednesday are not proportional.
