Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Since the simplest form of the ratios 24 : 28 and 36 : 48 are not equal, 24, 28, 36, 48 are not in proportion.
Detailed explanation-2: -We have the same denominators, but different numerators, so these are obviously not equal, thus they don’t form a proportion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Since the simplest form of the ratios 4 : 6 and 8 : 12 are equal, 4, 6, 8, 12 are in proportion.
Detailed explanation-4: -To know if a relationship is proportional, you should look at the ratios between the two variables. If the ratio is always the same, the relationship is proportional. If the ratio changes, the relationship is not proportional.
