What is the relationship between the ratios [tex]\frac{0.2}{2.6}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{0.3}{3.6}[/tex]?

Drag and drop a term into the box to correctly complete the statement.

The ratios are _____.



Answer :

To determine whether the ratios \(\frac{0.2}{2.6}\) and \(\frac{0.3}{3.6}\) are proportional, we need to evaluate each ratio and compare them.

1. Calculate the first ratio:
[tex]\[ \frac{0.2}{2.6} \approx 0.07692307692307693 \][/tex]

2. Calculate the second ratio:
[tex]\[ \frac{0.3}{3.6} \approx 0.08333333333333333 \][/tex]

3. Compare the two ratios:
[tex]\[ 0.07692307692307693 \quad \text{and} \quad 0.08333333333333333 \][/tex]

Since \(0.07692307692307693\) is not equal to \(0.08333333333333333\), the ratios are not proportional.

Thus, the complete statement is:
The ratios are not proportional.
