Question

Which one of the following statements expresses a true proportion?

A. 2 : 3 = 3 : 2
B. 3 : 5 = 12 : 20
C. 14 : 6 = 28 : 18
D. 42 : 7 = 6 : 2

Answer 1

Try them step by step

2/3=3/2? No

3/5=12/20? Lets try and see

If we simplify 12/20 what do we do? Well we take 4*3=12 and 4*5=20

Now that we simply the 4 from both the numerator and denominator we get our answer 3/5

Your answer will be B.
