Question

:) Check whether the given ratio form a proportion or not.
8:16 and 12:15​

Answer 1

Answer:

8:16 can be written as 8/16 which when simplified becomes 1/2 (DIVIDE BY 4) or 1:2

12:15 can be written as 12/15 which when simplified becomes 4/5 (DIVIDE BY 3) or 4:5

1:2 is not in proportion with 4:5

∴ 8:16 is not in proportion with 12:15
