➣ DIRECTIONS:
Determine whether each pair of ratios forms a proportion or not.
➣ ANSWERS:
⊱⋅ ────────────────────── ⋅⊰
➣ EXPLANATION:
A proportion is defined as an equality of two ratios. Thus, if a given pair of ratios are equal, especially when expressed in lowest terms, a proportion can be formed.
#1. 2/3 and 4/6
» A proportion can be formed because both ratios are equal — when expressed in lowest terms. They both have the simplified ratio of 2/3.
#2. 6/7 and 24/28
» A proportion can be formed because both ratios are equal — when expressed in lowest terms. They both have the simplified ratio of 6/7.
#3. 2/5 and 4/12
» A proportion can't be formed because the ratios are not equal.
#4. 28/42 and 2/3
» A proportion can be formed because both ratios are equal — when expressed in lowest terms. They both have the simplified ratio of 2/3.
#5. 15/20 and 5/6
» A proportion can't be formed because the ratios are not equal.
