How do you tell a ratio from a proportion?
A ratio is simply a comparison between 2 numbers. Example- 4:3 A proportion is 2 fractions equal to each other or "proportionate".
What the mean by law constant of proportion?
It means that different compounds composed of the same elements have their own unique proportion of those elements. For example, both water (H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are composed of hydrogen and oxygen. However, the proportion of hydrogen to oxygen in water is 2 to 1, and the proportion of hydrogen to oxygen in hydrogen peroxide is 1 to 1.
Can you Give me an example of a rational number?
1/2
What are 2 adjectives of proportion?

What does negative divided by positive give you?
A negative number. For example, -4/2=-2
Kinds of proportion?
1. Direct Proportion As one value increases, so does the other. 2. Indirect Proportion As one value increases, the other decreases. 3. Partitive Proportion A proportion describing the total amount being distributed into two or more unequal parts. Miwa D. Oguro
Can you give me an example of partitive proportion?
Father will give 1070.00 to his 3 children in the ratio 5:3:2. How much will each child get? Solution: 5n+3n+2n=10n 1070/10=107 N=107 5(107)=535 3(107)=321 2(107)=214 Final answer=535:321:214
Can you give me 2 examples of a proportion?
1/2 and 2/4 They are a proportion cause when you simplify 2/4 you will get 1/2 and they are both equal
A statement that 2 ratios are equal?
A statement that two ratios are equal is called a proportion in math. An example of a proportion is 1/2 equals 2/4. In this proportion, if you cross multiply, you find that 4 x1 is equal to 2 x 2, which is a true statement or proportion.
What is a math portion?
ratios for example: 2:4 is in proportion with 1:2
What is an example of a proportion that is false?
1/2=1/3 false
How do you tell a ratio from a proportion?

How can you tell if a proportion is true?
If you cross-multiply and you obtain an equality, then the proportion is true. Example: 2/3 = 20/30 ? cross-multiply; 2 x 30 = 3 x 20 ? 60 = 60 Since we have an equality, the proportion is true.
What is a true proportion?
A true proportion is when two ratios are equal to one another. To prove this, you need to find the cross products of the ratios and see if they are equal. An example of a true proportion are the ratios 1/2 and 5/10, if you take the cross product the result is 2 x 5 = 1 x 10, which are equal.
How are vegetables classified give 2 example of each classification?
give example of common classification
How To Solve A Proportion?
To solve a proportion, you cross multiply. For example, if this was the proportion: 2/4 = 3/x, you would multiply 2 with x and 4 with 3. The products will be used in your next equation. In this case, your next equation is 2x = 12. Now you want to isolate x, so divide by two for both sides. Your answer will be x = 6.
