Determine if 2.5/10=?12/48 or 2.5/2=?12/24 is a proportion.(1 point)

Answer 1

We can solve the given proportions as follows to check if they are equal:

2.5/10 = 12/48

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 48, we get:

2.5 * 48 / 10 = 12

On simplifying, we get:

12 = 12

Therefore, the given proportion 2.5/10 = 12/48 is true.

Next, we can solve the second proportion:

2.5/2 = 12/24

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, we get:

2.5 = 12/12

Simplifying fractions on the right-hand side, we get:

2.5 = 1

This is not a true statement. Therefore, the given proportion 2.5/2 = 12/24 is not a proportion.
