O O

Answer 1

12/30 = 18/45, so first you're going to cross multiply and you'll get (30)(18) = (12)(45). Then you can see that 540 = 540 same number so they're proportional...

BTW THIS WAY IS A LOT EASIER.

12/30 = 2/5

18/45 = 2/5

So yes, in summary, they're proportional to each other. Hope this helps, have a BLESSED and wonderful day! :-)

Answer 2

12/30 = 18/45....cross multiply
(30)(18) = (12)(45)
540 = 540...proportional

another way to tell is to see if they are equivalent...because proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions.
12/30 = 2/5
18/45 = 2/5
so yes, they are proportional
