1. Disagree ("preportion"?)
2. 36/60 (typo?) It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them.
3. Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown. Not sure what you are asking.

To determine which ratios form a proportion, you need to check if the ratios have equal cross products.
1: The ratios are 4/9 and 12/25. To find the cross products, multiply the numerator of the first ratio (4) by the denominator of the second ratio (25), and multiply the numerator of the second ratio (12) by the denominator of the first ratio (9). The cross products are (4 * 25 = 100) and (12 * 9 = 108). Since the cross products are not equal, the ratios 4/9 and 12/25 do not form a proportion.
2: The given ratio is 18/30. Now, check which of the options forms a proportion with 18/30.
a. 20/35: Cross products of (18 * 35 = 630) and (20 * 30 = 600) are not equal.
b. 50/90: Cross products of (18 * 90 = 1620) and (50 * 30 = 1500) are not equal.
c. 36/48: Cross products of (18 * 48 = 864) and (36 * 30 = 1080) are not equal.
d. 60/100: Cross products of (18 * 100 = 1800) and (60 * 30 = 1800) are equal. Therefore, the ratio 36/48 forms a proportion with 18/30.
3: The question asks which proportion has cross products of 5 x 24 and 8 x 15. Let's examine the options.
a. 5/8 = 15/24: Cross products of (5 * 24 = 120) and (8 * 15 = 120) are equal.
b. 5/24 = 8/15: Cross products of (5 * 15 = 75) and (24 * 8 = 192) are not equal.
c. 8/24 = 15/5: Cross products of (8 * 5 = 40) and (24 * 15 = 360) are not equal.
d. 15/8 = 5/24: Cross products of (15 * 24 = 360) and (8 * 5 = 40) are not equal.
Hence, the proportion 5/8 = 15/24 (option a) has the cross products of 5 x 24 and 8 x 15.
To summarize:
1. The correct answer is option d (5/8, 15/25) does not form a proportion.
2. The correct answer is option c (36/48) forms a proportion with 18/30.
3. The correct answer is option b (5/24 = 8/15) has cross products of 5 * 24 and 8 * 15.
