AShow that the ratios 10/20 and 30/60 form a proportion by finding a common multiplier.
BShow that the ratios in part (A) are equal by writing them in simplest form.

Verified Answer :

Answer:

\(\text{(A) Hence, The ratio }\frac{10}{20}\text{ form a proportion by common multiplier 3 to get }\frac{30}{60}\)

\(\text{(B) Hence, Both ratio are equal to }\frac{1}{2}\text{ in simplest form. }\)

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) We need to show both fraction of same proportion.

Ratio 1:  \(\frac{10}{20}\)

If we multiply by 3 at numerator and denominator

\(\RIghtarrow \frac{10\times 3}{20\times 3}\)

\(\RIghtarrow \frac{30}{60}\)

\(\RIghtarrow \frac{30}{60} \text{ is equivalent ratio of second one }\frec{30}{60}\)

\(\text{Hence, The ratio }\frac{10}{20}\text{ form a proportion by common multiplier 3 to get }\frac{30}{60}\)

(B) Now we simplify both ration into simplest form

\(\Rightarrow \frac{10\div 10}{20\div 10}=\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{30\div 30}{60\div 30}=\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\text{Hence, Both ratio are equal to }\frac{1}{2}\text{ in simplest form. }\)
