2.5/2=12/24
Both are proportions.
2.5/10=12/48
Neither is a proportion.
The answer is: Neither is a proportion.
Determine if one, both, or neither of the following is a proportion. 16/8=?24/12, 8/4 =?12/6
To determine if the given equations are proportions, we need to check if the fractions are equal.
Let's check the first equation:
16/8 = 2
24/12 = 2
Since both fractions simplify to 2, the first equation can be considered a proportion.
Now, let's check the second equation:
8/4 = 2
12/6 = 2
Again, both fractions simplify to 2, so the second equation is also a proportion.
Therefore, both of the given equations 16/8=?24/12 and 8/4=?12/6 are proportions.
To determine if 2.510=?1248 or 2.52=?1224 is a proportion, we can check if the two ratios are equal.
For the first question, we have:
2.5/2 = 12/24
Simplifying the ratios, we get:
1.25 = 0.5
Since 1.25 is not equal to 0.5, this is not a proportion.
For the second question, we have:
2.5/10 = 12/48
Simplifying the ratios, we get:
0.25 = 0.25
Since 0.25 is equal to 0.25, this is a proportion.
Therefore, the second statement 2.52=?1224 is a proportion.
To determine if 2.510 = 12/48 or 2.52 = 12/24 is a proportion, we need to evaluate if the ratio on one side is equal to the ratio on the other side.
First, let's simplify the ratios:
2.510 = 12/48 simplifies to 0.052 = 0.25
2.52 = 12/24 simplifies to 0.105 = 0.5
Now, compare the simplified ratios:
0.052 ≠ 0.25
0.105 ≠ 0.5
Since neither simplified ratio is equal, neither equation is a proportion.
