A proportional ratio maintains the same relationship as the original ratio. For the ratio \( \frac{10}{5} \), we can simplify it to \( \frac{2}{1} \).
To find proportional ratios, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number. Here are a few examples:
1. Multiplying by 2:
\[
\frac{10 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{20}{10}
\]
2. Multiplying by 3:
\[
\frac{10 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{30}{15}
\]
3. Multiplying by 4:
\[
\frac{10 \times 4}{5 \times 4} = \frac{40}{20}
\]
All of these ratios \( \frac{20}{10} \), \( \frac{30}{15} \), and \( \frac{40}{20} \) are proportional to the original ratio \( \frac{10}{5} \).
