Question

Is 16/8=24/12 proportion?

Answer 1

To check if the ratios \( \frac{16}{8} \) and \( \frac{24}{12} \) are proportional, we can simplify both ratios.

First, simplify \( \frac{16}{8} \):
\[
\frac{16}{8} = 2
\]

Next, simplify \( \frac{24}{12} \):
\[
\frac{24}{12} = 2
\]

Since both ratios simplify to 2, we can conclude that they are proportional:

\[
\frac{16}{8} = \frac{24}{12}
\]

So yes, \( \frac{16}{8} \) and \( \frac{24}{12} \) are in proportion.
