Which proportion has cross products of 5*24 and 8*15?

A. 5/8 = 15/24
B. 5/24 = 8/15
C. 8/24 = 15/5
D. 15/8 = 5/24

To find the proportion with the given cross products, we need to compare the products of the upper and lower numbers on each side of the proportion.

The cross products given are 5*24 and 8*15.

5*24 = 120
8*15 = 120

Since both cross products are equal to 120, this means that the answer is:

A. 5/8 = 15/24

To determine which proportion has cross products of 5*24 and 8*15, we need to understand how cross products work in proportions.

Cross products are the products of the numbers diagonally across from each other in a proportion. In this case, the cross products are 5*24 and 8*15.

Now, let's examine the options:

A. 5/8 = 15/24
The cross products are 5*24 = 120 and 8*15 = 120. So, this proportion has the correct cross products.

B. 5/24 = 8/15
The cross products are 5*15 = 75 and 24*8 = 192. So, this proportion does not have the correct cross products.

C. 8/24 = 15/5
The cross products are 8*5 = 40 and 24*15 = 360. So, this proportion does not have the correct cross products.

D. 15/8 = 5/24
The cross products are 15*24 = 360 and 8*5 = 40. So, this proportion does not have the correct cross products.

Therefore, the proportion that has cross products of 5*24 and 8*15 is A. 5/8 = 15/24.
