Question: Determine if the proportion is true 1/6= 3/18
Solution:
we have the following equation that it may be true or false:
[tex]\frac{1}{6}\text{ = }\frac{3}{18}[/tex]But, the above equation is equivalent to:
[tex]1\text{ x 18 = 3 x 6}[/tex]But 1x 18 = 18, and 3x 6 = 18 so the above equation is equivalent to
[tex]18\text{ = 18}[/tex]The above equality always is true, so we can conclude that the proportion is true.
