Question

Q5. Check if the ratios are in proportion or not:
a) 25:36 and 5:6​

Answer 1

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

25:36::5:6

product of meems=product of extremes

=>36*5=25*6

=>180 is not equal to150

Therefore 25:36::5:6 are not in propotion

Answer 2

Q5. a)

No, they are not

Given the following proportion equation:

$\frac{25}{36} \: and \: \frac{5}{6}$

36 and 5 are the "means" of the proportion, while the values in the 25 and 6 are the "extremes" of the proportion.

If the product of means is equal to product of extremes

36*5 = 180

25*6 = 150

The fractions are not proportional because the product of their means does not equal the product of their extremes.
