Question

Is 2/8 = 3/9 a proportion? Explain

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

In order for 2/8 and 3/9 to be proportions, they have to be equal to each other.

2/8 = 1/4 ==> divide the numerator and denominator by 2

3/9 = 1/3 ==> divide the numerator and denominator by 3

1/4
`\\eq` 1/3 ==> Hence 2/8 and 3/9 aren't proportions.
