How can you show that two ratios are proportional?
There are 3 ways to show that ratios are proportional. Can you explain at least one way? Explain how.
One way to show that two ratios are proportional is by cross multiplying.
If you have two ratios, for example, a/b and c/d, you can cross multiply by multiplying a and d, and b and c. If the two products are equal, then the ratios are proportional.
So if ad = bc, then the ratios a/b and c/d are proportional. This property can be used to prove that two ratios are proportional in various mathematical problems and calculations.
