Question

Question 2(d)

Write True (T) or False (F) against each of the following statements:

$8:9::24:27$

Answer 1

If two ratios are equal, we say that they are in proportion.

Ratio of 8 to 9 = $\frac{8}{9}$ = 8 : 9

Ratio of 24 to 27 = $\frac{24}{27}$ = 8 : 9

Since, 8 : 9 = 24 : 27

Therefore, 8, 9, 24, 27 are in proportion.

Hence, it is True.
