Vincent wrote an example of a proportion on the board.

Question

Evaluate Vincent’s proportion to determine if it is correct. Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

To evaluate Vincent's proportion, we would need the specific details of the proportion itself (for example, a written equation, numbers, or a scenario presented). A proportion typically has the form \( \frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \), where \( a, b, c, d \) are numbers.

To check if a proportion is correct, one can cross-multiply: if \( a \cdot d = b \cdot c \), then the proportion is correct.

If you provide the specific details of Vincent's proportion, I can help determine if it is correct and explain the reasoning further.
