You can use cross products to determine if the ratios are equivalent.

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] 0.6: 0.5 & → & 0.6/0.5 [1em] 12: 10 & → & 12/10 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.

0.6/0.5? =12/10

Cross multiply

0.6*10? =0.5*12

Multiply

6=6 ✓

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