Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine if two pairs of numbers are proportional, you divide the first number of each pair by the second number of each pair and compare the quotients. For the pairs $3.5, 4.4$ and $2.5, 3.5$, the quotients are $3.5/4.4 \approx 0.795$ and $2.5/3.5 \approx 0.714$. Since these quotients are not equal, the pairs are not proportional.
