Determine if the ratios \(\frac{4}{3}\) and \(\frac{24}{30}\) are proportional.

Answer "Yes" or "No."

Answer :

Use a calculator to evaluate the left and right side separately.

4/3 = 24/30
1.333 = 0.8

The equation is false.

----------------------------------

Alternatively, you can cross multiply like so

4/3 = 24/30
4*30 = 3*24
120 = 72

Since that equation is false, it means that the original equation 4/3 = 24/30 is false.
It's not a fraction. I have to make it an equation
