Neither is a proportion
Both are proportions.
To determine if 2.510=?1248 or 2.52=?1224 is a proportion, we can check if the ratios on both sides are equivalent. Let's evaluate each statement:
1. 2.510=?1248:
Since 2.510 can be simplified to 2.5 and ?1248 can be simplified to 12/48, we can rewrite the statement as:
2.5/10 = 12/48
If we simplify both sides of the equation, we get:
0.25 = 0.25
Since both sides of the equation are equal, the statement 2.510=?1248 is a proportion.
2. 2.52=?1224:
Similarly, we can simplify 2.52 to get 2.5 and ?1224 to get 12/24. Rewriting the statement:
2.5/2 = 12/24
Simplifying both sides:
1.25 = 0.5
Since 1.25 and 0.5 are not equal, the statement 2.52=?1224 is not a proportion.
Thus, the correct response is: Neither is a proportion.
