proportional to 65⁄5?
What is 65 divided by 5? Let that be x.
x/1
as long as you multiply or divide top and bottom by the same number, you will have a proportion
65x/5x = 65/5
If you are dividing (multiplying by 1/x), it makes things less complicated if x is a factor of 5 and 65
To determine if something is proportional, you need to check if the ratio between two values remains constant. In this case, we have 65/5.
To see if 65/5 is proportional, divide the numerator (65) by the denominator (5). The result is 13.
Now, check if the ratio remains constant by multiplying the denominator (5) by the result (13). If the numerator (65) is equal to the product (65 = 5 * 13), then the values are proportional.
In this case, 65/5 is proportional because 65 is indeed equal to 5 multiplied by 13. The constant ratio is 13, meaning the value of 65 is 13 times greater than the value of 5.
