Question

8:3::32:4 check if they have propertion​

Answer 1

Answer :-

• 8, 3, 32 and 4 are not in proportion.

What to do?

• Check if 8, 3, 32 and 4 are in proportion.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Before finding our answer, let's first see what is a proportion.

We know that :-

• When two ratios have the same value, they are said to be in proportion.

Now let's calculate our answer!

-----------------------

We also know that :-

• In a proportion, the product of means is equal to the product of extremes.

-----------------------

Here,

• Extremes = 8 and 4.
• Means = 3 and 32.

Now,

$\sf Product \: of \: extremes = 8 \times 4 = 32.$

$\sf Product \: of \: means = 3 \times 32 = 96.$

Observation :-

• We see that the product of extremes is not equal to the product of means.

• Hence, the following ratios are not in proportion.
