#1) Are the ratios proportional? 6 12 12 24 Cross multiply. 144 = 144 YES
#2) Are the ratios proportional? 2 9 6 27 Cross multiply. 54 = 54 YES
NO. The cross products are not equal. #5) A bubble solution can be made with a ratio of 1 part detergent to 8 parts water. Would a mixture of 56 oz water and 8 oz detergent represent the same ratio? Explain. 𝑑𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 1 8 8 56 56 ≠ 64 NO. The cross products are not equal.
#6) The ratio of an object’s weight on Earth to its weight on the Moon is 6:1. The first person to walk on the Moon was Neil Armstrong. He weighed 165 pounds on Earth. How much did he weigh on the Moon? 𝐸𝑎𝑟𝑡ℎ 𝑀𝑜𝑜𝑛 6 1 165 𝑥 6𝑥 = 165 6 6 𝑥=27.5 𝑝𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠
