Question

Are the ratios 25g: 30g and 40 kg: 48 kg in proportion?

Answer 1

25 g: 30 g = `25/30 `= 5: 6

40 kg: 48 kg = `40/48` = 5: 6

So, 25: 30 = 40: 48.

Therefore, the ratios 25 g: 30 g and 40 kg: 48 kg are in proportion, i.e. 25: 30:: 40: 48
The middle terms in this are 30, 40 and the extreme terms are 25, 48.
