3:4 = 15:20 True or False. Explain your reasoning.
3:4 = 15:20 because 3 can go into 15 an 4 can go into 20.
the question is if the two proportions are equal:3:4= 3(5):4(5)that is, we just multiply both sides of the proportion by the same number and so we have:3:4= 3(5):4(5)= 15:20therefore:3:4 = 15:20
