Question

Consider the pairs of ratios given in the first column and determine whether or not the ratios form a proportion.

Answer 1

Options 1 and 2 are proportional, the last one isn't.

Explanation:

I found option 1 by dividing 8 / 1, then multiplying it by 2 to see if I get 16. I got 16 so it's proportional.

I found the 2nd option by dividing 9 / 4, and then multiplying it by 8 to see if I get 18. I got 18 so it's proportional.

I found option 3 by dividing 16 / 6, and then multiplying it by 4 to see if I get 10. I didn't 10, so it isn't proportional.
