Question

Determine if the proportion is true 1/8=6/40 Proportion is true Proportion is not true

Answer 1

hello

to determine if the proportion is true, we need to check the value of the quotient after division.

let's pick each fraction individually and check

`(1)/(8)=\frac{1}{8\text{ }}\text{ or = 0.125}`
`(6)/(40)=(3)/(20)\text{ or = 0.15}`

from the calculation above, the proportion is not true since their quotient is not equivalent to each other.
