Question

16 emails to 6 text messages- 10 emails to 4 text messages proportional or not

Answer 1

Given:

16 emails to 6 text messages- 10 emails to 4 text messages

To find:

Whether 16 emails to 6 text messages- 10 emails to 4 text messages proportional or not.

Solution:

Check the ratio of emails to text. If the ratios are equal then the relation is proportional.

16 emails to 6 text messages.

`(Emails)/(Text)=(16)/(6)`

`(Emails)/(Text)=(8)/(3)`

`(Emails)/(Text)=8:3`

10 emails to 4 text messages.

`(Emails)/(Text)=(10)/(4)`

`(Emails)/(Text)=(5)/(2)`

`(Emails)/(Text)=5:2`

Since
`(8)/(3)\\eq (5)/(2)` or
`8:3\\eq 5:2`, therefore, it is not proportional.
