determine if 2.5/10 = 12/48 or 2.5/2 = equals 12/24 as a proportion
To determine if the two fractions are equal as a proportion, we can simplify each fraction:
2.5/10 = 0.25
12/48 = 0.25
Thus, 2.5/10 is equal to 12/48 as a proportion.
Now, let's simplify the second comparison:
2.5/2 = 1.25
12/24 = 0.5
Thus, 2.5/10 is not equal to 12/24 as a proportion.
