Question

Determine if the proportion is true 1/8=6/40 Proportion is true Proportion is not true

Answer 1

hello

to determine if the proportion is true, we need to check the value of the quotient after division.

let's pick each fraction individually and check

$\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{8\text{ }}\text{ or = 0.125}$$\frac{6}{40}=\frac{3}{20}\text{ or = 0.15}$

from the calculation above, the proportion is not true since their quotient is not equivalent to each other.
