the trick for working ratio and proportions out is to,eg, say if there 5 girls in a class and the ratio of how many boys was 5:1 there will be 25 boys because you simply have to do 5x5=25 then simply times it by one .i think

What methods is used to determine if 2 ratios form a proportion?

To determine if two ratios form a proportion, you can use cross-multiplication. If the cross-products of the ratios are equal, the ratios are proportional. For example, for the ratios ( \frac{a}{b} ) and ( \frac{c}{d} ), if ( a \times d = b \times c ), then the two ratios form a proportion. Additionally, you can also compare the decimal values of the ratios; if they are equal, they are proportional.

Do the ratios 316 and 1264 form a proportion?

To determine if the ratios 316 and 1264 form a proportion, we can compare them by setting up the fraction 316/1264. If the two ratios are equivalent, their cross products should be equal. However, simplifying 316/1264 gives us 1/4, meaning they do not form a proportion since they are not equivalent. Therefore, the ratios do not form a proportion.
