Oh, what a lovely question! To find out if two ratios are proportional, we can cross multiply and see if the results are equal. So, for 8 to 9 and 18 to 16, when we cross multiply (8 x 16 and 9 x 18), we see that they are not equal. That means these ratios are not proportional, but it's all part of the happy little journey of learning!

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. To check if two ratios are proportional, you just cross multiply and see if the results are equal. So, for 8 to 9 and 18 to 16, it's 8 x 16 = 9 x 18. And guess what? They're not equal, so nope, these ratios are not proportional. Like, it's simple math, man.
Yes, and they are the same fraction when reduced 24/27 = 8/9 ( divide numerator and denominator by 3) 16/18 = 8/9 ( divide numerator and denominator by 2)
Ans = 18*8/9 = 16
16/18 = 8/9 in its lowest terms
There are an infinite amount of ratios equivalent to 8/18!The most simplified one is 4/9,But it also includes 12/27, 16/36, 20/45, 24/54, 28/63, and 544/1224.For any number x, 4/9 * x/x = 8/18
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, 16/18 is equal to 8/9 or eight ninths.
