Question

Are the following in proportion?

$\frac{11}{2}and\frac{44}{8}$

Answer 1

Step-1: write in the form of $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$

Here, $a=11$ $b=2$ $c=44$ and $d=8$

Four quantities a, b, c, and d are said to form a proportion if $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$

Step-2: check whether $a\times d=c\times b$or $not$

$a\times d=11\times 8=88$

$c\times b=44\times 2=88$

Here, $88=88$

$a\times d=c\times b$

Hence, $\frac{11}{2}and\frac{44}{8}$are in proportion
