Neither is a proportion.
Neither is a proportion.

Both are proportions.
Both are proportions.

2.5/2=12/24

Answer 1

To determine if the given fractions are proportions, we need to check if the fractions on each side of the equations are equal.

1. For the first equation: \( \frac{2.5}{10} = \frac{12}{48} \)

   Let's simplify both fractions:

   • \( \frac{2.5}{10} = 0.25 \)
   • \( \frac{12}{48} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)

   Since both fractions are equal, this is a proportion.

2. For the second equation: \( \frac{2.5}{2} = \frac{12}{24} \)

   Simplifying both fractions:

   • \( \frac{2.5}{2} = 1.25 \)
   • \( \frac{12}{24} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \)

   Since these are not equal, this is not a proportion.

Conclusion:

• The first equation \( \frac{2.5}{10} = \frac{12}{48} \) is a proportion.
• The second equation \( \frac{2.5}{2} = \frac{12}{24} \) is not a proportion.

Therefore, the correct response would be: "2.5/10 = 12/48" is a proportion, while "2.5/2 = 12/24" is not a proportion.

Answer 2

is it a b c or d?

Answer 3

Based on the evaluations of the two equations:

• The first equation \( \frac{2.5}{10} = \frac{12}{48} \) is a proportion.
• The second equation \( \frac{2.5}{2} = \frac{12}{24} \) is not a proportion.

If the response options are as you have described previously, the correct choice would be:

"2.5/10 = 12/48" is a proportion, while "2.5/2 = 12/24" is not a proportion. However, you did not provide exact letter options (a, b, c, d).

Please select the option that states that "1st is a proportion and 2nd is not." If you can share the exact letter responses, I can point out the correct one for you.

Answer 4

is it the first, second, third, or fourth option?

Answer 5

Based on the options you provided earlier, here is the analysis:

1. Option 1: "2.5/10 = 12/48" (This is a proportion.)
2. Option 2: "Neither is a proportion." (This is incorrect.)
3. Option 3: "Both are proportions." (This is incorrect.)
4. Option 4: "2.5/2 = 12/24" (This is not a proportion.)

The first option is the only one that is true.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option: "2.5/10 = 12/48" is a proportion.
