Answer:
To find if something is proportional you want to reduce them to there simplest form, so we want to reduce each fraction down
40/48= 5/6
56/42= 8/7
Therefore; these two fractions are not proportional because they reduce to different numbers
Hope this helps ;)
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply:
40 * 42 = 48 * 56
Simplifying
40 * 42 = 48 * 56
Multiply 40 * 42
1680 = 48 * 56
Multiply 48 * 56
1680 = 2688
Solving
1680 = 2688
