To determine if 2.510=1248 or 2.52=1224 is a proportion, we need to compare the ratios of the two sides.
For 2.510=1248:
The left-hand side is 2.510, which can also be written as 2.5/10 or 5/20.
The right-hand side is 1248, which can also be written as 12/48.
Therefore, the ratio on the left-hand side is 5/20, and the ratio on the right-hand side is 12/48. These ratios are equivalent since they simplify to 1/4.
For 2.52=1224:
The left-hand side is 2.52, which can also be written as 2.5/2 or 5/4.
The right-hand side is 1224, which cannot be simplified further.
Therefore, the ratio on the left-hand side is 5/4, and the ratio on the right-hand side is 1224. These ratios are not equivalent.
In conclusion, only 2.510=1248 is a proportion, while 2.52=1224 is not a proportion.
