Determine if the following ratio form a proportion
2 kg : 80 kg :: 25 g : 625 kg
Solution
The correct answer is No
Explanation
2 kg : 80 kg :: 25 g : 625 kg
2 kg : 80 kg
⇒ $\dfrac{2}{80}$ = $\dfrac{1}{40}$
25 g : 625 kg
⇒ 25 g : 625 kg = $\dfrac{25}{625}$ = $\dfrac{1}{25}$
∴ 2 kg : 80 kg :: 25 g : 625 kg are not in proportion.
