Question

8/24 and 12/28 Are these ratios proprtional?Yes or no?

Answer 1

We can equate both ratios to get the following:

`(8)/(24)=(12)/(28)`

then, if we cross multiply, we have:

`\begin{gathered} (8)/(24)=(12)/(28) \\ \Rightarrow8(28)=12(24) \\ \Rightarrow224=288 \end{gathered}`

we have that 224 equals 288, which is false, therefore, the two ratios are not proportional
