Yes.

Practice makes perfect

To determine if the given ratios form a proportion. Let's first write them as fractions. ccc Ratio & & Fraction [0.8em] 1to 3 & → & 1/3 [1em] 7to 21 & → & 7/21 Then, we will set them equal to one another and use the Cross Products Property. If the resulting equation is true, then the ratios form a proportion.

1/3? =7/21

Cross multiply

1*21? =3*7

Multiply

21=21 ✓

Yes, the ratios form a proportion because the cross products are equal.
