Question

i literally forgot everything about proportions and i may sound really stupid but, can 3/4 , 16/20 form a proportion?

Answer 1

Explanation:

If an item is shared in a proportion of 3:4,it means that A gets 3/(3+4) of what is to be shared , that is 3/7 of the bulk item to be shared. B gets 4/(3+4) of what is to be shared, that is 4/7 of the bulk item to be shared.

Also if an item is shared in a proportion of 16:20 , A gets 16/(16+20)=16/36 of Bulk item while B gets 20/(16+20)= 20/36 of the Bulk item being shared.

thats a proportion
