4 answers

whats your answer
well, does
45*15 = 25*27 ??
Whats the answer!?
what number is both 25 and 45 divisible by? 5
25÷5=5, 45÷5=9, or 5/9
what number is both 15 and 27 divisible by? 3
but why not 5?
27÷5 is not rational, therefore it it 3 since 3 can go into 15 and 27
15÷3=5, 27÷3=9, or 5/9
so yes, they are both proportional
