Do the ratios 14/7 and 2/1 form a proportion?
yes
To determine if the ratios 14/7 and 2/1 form a proportion, we need to check if they are equivalent.
To check if two ratios are equivalent, we cross-multiply and see if the products are equal.
Let's cross-multiply the ratios:
14 * 1 = 14
7 * 2 = 14
Since the products are equal (both equal to 14), the ratios are equivalent.
Therefore, the ratios 14/7 and 2/1 form a proportion.
