To determine which two ratios form a proportion, we must check if the cross-products are equal. In other words, for two ratios \( \frac{a}{b} \) and \( \frac{c}{d} \), they form a proportion if \( a \times d = b \times c \).
Let's analyze the given pairs:
-
204 and 15
- Not clear, let’s skip this.
-
20 fourths and 1 fifth
- This can be expressed as:
- \( 20 \div 4 = 5 \) (so "20 fourths" = 5)
- \( 1 \div 5 = 0.2 \) (so "1 fifth" = 0.2)
- The ratio is \( 5:0.2 \).
- This can be expressed as:
-
420 and 15
- Again, not clear, let’s skip this.
-
4 over 20 and 1 fifth
- Expressing these as fractions:
- \( \frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5} \)
- Ratio = \( \frac{1}{5} \)
- Expressing these as fractions:
-
420 and 25
- Not as clear. Let’s check.
-
4 over 20 and 2 fifths
- \( \frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5} \) and \( 2 \div 5 = 0.4 \).
-
204 and 25
- Not clear, let’s skip.
-
20 fourths and 2 fifths
- \( 20 \div 4 = 5 \) and \( 2 \div 5 = 0.4 \).
So, out of the options after analyzing, we check the pairs:
- Out of 4 over 20 and 1 fifth is equal, therefore it forms a proportion as:
\[ 4 \times 5 = 20 \] \[ 20 \times 1 = 20 \]
Thus, the correct option is 4 over 20 and 1 fifth forming a proportion.
