Question

Find each ratio x to y in decimal form. Then tell whether x and y are proportional. x y 3.25/2.5= 5.98/4.6= 6.76/5.2= 3.25 2.5 5.98 4.6 6.76 5.2

Answer 1

Explanation:

If x and y are proportional, it means that the ratio of x to y will always be constant value for each of the given ratios. Each ratio would be simplified by converting to decimals. Considering and converting each of the given ratios to decimal, it becomes

3.25/2.5 = 1.3

5.98/4.6 = 1.3

6.76/5.2 = 1.3

The constant value from the given ratios is always 1.3. Therefore, we can conclude that x and y are proportional.
