Determine if 2.5/10=?12/48 or 2.5/2=?12/24 is a proportion.(1 point)
We can solve the given proportions as follows to check if they are equal:
2.5/10 = 12/48
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 48, we get:
2.5 * 48 / 10 = 12
On simplifying, we get:
12 = 12
Therefore, the given proportion 2.5/10 = 12/48 is true.
Next, we can solve the second proportion:
2.5/2 = 12/24
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, we get:
2.5 = 12/12
Simplifying fractions on the right-hand side, we get:
2.5 = 1
This is not a true statement. Therefore, the given proportion 2.5/2 = 12/24 is not a proportion.
