Question

Tell whether each statement is a proportion:

3:9 = 6:18
28:7 = 64:16
95:100 = 17:20
60:80 = 14:16
200:300=24:36

Answer 1

1. Yes

2. No

3. No

4. No

5. Yes

Explanation:

Do you mean equal proportion?

1. 3 : 9 = 6 : 18 TRUE because 3 : 9 = 1 : 3 and 6 : 18 = 1 : 3

2. 28 : 7 = 64 : 16 FALSE because they are just not related.

3. 95 : 100 = 17 : 20 FALSE because the closest they get are 19 : 20 ≠ 17 : 20

4. 60 : 80 = 14 : 16 FALSE because the closest they get are 60 : 80 = 6 : 8 and 14 : 16 = 7 : 8

5. 200 : 300 = 24 : 36 TRUE because 200 : 300 = 2 : 3 and 24 : 36 = 2 : 3
