Do these ratios form a proportion?

Question

4,000 red gloves for every 8,000 green gloves

6,000 red gloves for every 10,000 green gloves

Answer 1

To check if these ratios form a proportion, we need to compare the ratios.

The first ratio is 4,000 red gloves for every 8,000 green gloves, which can be simplified to 1:2.

The second ratio is 6,000 red gloves for every 10,000 green gloves, which can be simplified to 3:5.

Therefore, the two ratios (1:2 and 3:5) do not match. They do not form a proportion.
