To express the ratio 5:1 as equal to the ratio 20:4 in fractional notation without simplifying, you can represent both ratios as fractions.
The ratio 5:1 can be written as:
\[ \frac{5}{1} \]
The ratio 20:4 can be written as:
\[ \frac{20}{4} \]
To express that these two ratios are proportional, you can write the following equation:
\[ \frac{5}{1} = \frac{20}{4} \]
This notation shows that the two ratios are equal in fractional form without simplifying.
I apologize for the misunderstanding. Let me clarify how to write the proportion correctly in fractional notation.
To express the ratios 5:1 and 20:4 as a proportion, we set them equal to each other as fractions:
\[ \frac{5}{1} = \frac{20}{4} \]
To represent the relationship in fractional form without simplifying, we express it as:
\[ \frac{5}{1} : \frac{20}{4} \]
Alternatively, to suggest they are in proportion without directly writing them side by side, you could express it as:
\[ \frac{5}{1} = \frac{20}{4} \]
Again, thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your understanding. If you need further clarification or details, please let me know!
