Question

One school survey showed that 3 out of 5 students own a pet. Another survey showed that 6 out of 11 students own a pet. Are these results proportional?

Answer 1

They are not proportional.

Explanation:

The proportions of each survey differ in size.

`(3)/(5) \\eq (6)/(11)`

The first survey represents 60% and the second 54.5% (0.6 and 0.545 in decimal form). Therefore, they are not proportional.

Hope this helps.
