Answer 2

The given proportion 8:9 = 24:18 not equal and is false.

To check if the given proportional is equal follow the steps:

Given:

a= 8

b= 9

c= 24

d= 18

To find:

If a:b = c:d

Stepwise solution:

• The proportion is the method to express two ratios equal to each other.

• It shows the relation of proportionality between two ratios or fractional values.

• The ratio is said to be proportional to each other if a/b = c/d

• Now check proportionality through cross multiplication.

        a × d = b × c

        8 × 18 = 9 × 24

        144 = 216

      ∴ 144 ≠ 216

• Hence, the given ratio is not equal so they are not called proportion.
