A proportion i s a n e q u a t i o n t h a t s t a t e s t h a t t w o r a t i o s a r e e q u i v a l e n t . T o d e t e r m i n e w h e t h e r a p a i r o f ratios f o r m s a proportion, u s e cross products. You c a n also u s e cross products t o solve proportions.

Example 1 Determine w h e t h e r the p a i r of ratios — a n d — form a proportion. 24 18 F i n d t h e cross products. 24 . 1 2 = 288 20 . 1 8 = 360 Since t h e cross p r o d u c t s a r e n o t equal, t h e ratios d o n o t f o r m a proportion.
