Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To show that two ratios are proportional, you can write them in the form of fractions and then simplify them to see if they have the same value. If the simplified fractions have the same value, then the ratios are proportional.

For example, let's compare the ratios 2:4 and 6:12:

2:4 can be written as the fraction 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2.
6:12 can be written as the fraction 6/12, which simplifies to 1/2.

Since both ratios simplify to the same value of 1/2, we can conclude that the ratios 2:4 and 6:12 are proportional.
