  1. You can tell that two ratios is a proportion by simplifying two fractions or you could find the unit rate.

    1. Watch the grammar with plural and singular words.

  2. One way you can tell that two ratios form a proportion is when you find the unit rate of both of the ratios and if they are the same unit rate they form a proportion. The second way that you can find out that two ratios form a proportion is that you can simplify don the fractions and if the fractions are the same at the end they form a proportion.

  3. You can tell ratios from a proportion if the ratios are not in unit rates and it can be that they are not equal.

    1. Your response needs much more detail. You also needed two ways.

  5. Two ways you can tell that two ratios form a proportion is by simplifying and cross multiplying.

  6. Two ways you can tell is putting the ratio into a fraction and seeing if the they simplify down to the same fraction. Put the ratio on a graph and connect the lines and if it line up to 0 it is proportional.

  7. A proportion can be solved but a ratio cannot.

  8. Tyler M: If they both are equivalent, or if they both simplify in to the same fraction.

  9. You can tell that two ratios form a proportion by looking to see if they simplify down to the same fraction.If they simplify down to the same fraction then, the ratios are proportional. Another way you can see if two ratios form a proportion is by looking to see if they have the same unit rate. If they have the same unit rate then, the ratios will be proportional.

  10. Two ways that you can tell that two ratios form a proportion are comparing the ratios in simplest form or to compare the cross products.

  11. Two ways that you can tell two ratios are a proportion is writing them as a fraction then you see if they are equivalent. The other way is using cross products. If one ratio is 5:6 and the other is 6:7 then you write them both as a fraction. Then you cross multiply them. If both products are equal then the ratio is proportional.

  12. Two ways you can tell that two ratios form a proportion are it can be written in two ways as two equal fractions. And you can cross products if two ratios are equal or form a proportion.

  13. The ratios when are simplified should equal the same fraction, and if you make a graph and connect the dot and continue the line if proportional the line will lead into the 0,0 cord.

  14. Two way you can tell if a ratio is proportional is if you see that they are factors of each other. Also you can see if the top and bottom divide by the same number.

    1. This needs more description, I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say.

  15. You can use Rows and Columns.

  16. Two ways you can tell two ratios form a proportion is simplifying and cross multiplying. If you have 20/25 and 4/5, you can simplify them down by doing 20/5=4 and 25/5=5 and put that together and its 4/5 so they are proportional. With Cross multiplying, you can do 20 times 5 and 25 times 4 and they both equal 100 which makes them proportional.

  17. Two ways you can tell that two ratios form a proportion is when both the numbers are when you divide the numbers and they are equal.Also the you can keep adding up one of the numbers to see if they add up into the original number.

    1. Your explanation needs a little more clarity. Make sure you are re-reading for understanding.

  18. Two ways you can tell two ratios form a proportion is the numerator and denominator can be multiplied to equal the other ratio. Or they both have a common numerator or denominator.

    1. Both of these elude to Equivalent Ratios/proportions. What is another way?

  19. One way you can cheek is by using cross products to see whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. A second way you could cheek is by seeing how many times the first denominator goes into the second denominator and then multiply by the first fractions numerator.

  20. 1.If they are equivalent in simplest form.
    2.If you can multiple one fraction to be the other fraction

  21. The way you can tell that two ratios are proportional is that if they simplify to the same unit rate. Another way is to see if the ratios using the rows and columns.

  22. A ratio is a comparison of two numbers. A proportion is an equation with a ratio on each side. To tell if ratios are proportional you see if they equal the same ratio.

  23. A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a:b = c:d.

    1. Follow the prompt! This also should be in your own words.

  24. Two ways you can tell two ratios that form a proportion is either if you can divide the ratios by the same number to cross simplify them or you can look and see if they're equal.

  25. The two ways that you can tell that two ratios from a proportion are,the first is that you can dived the biggest comman factor out of it and get the simplest form and the other way is to symplle it so it is symplest form.

  27. Two ways that you can tell that two ratios form a proportion are simplifying. Like lets say I have a fraction 12/8 then I will simplify it down to 3/2. Another way to tell that two ratios form a proportion is by dividing down.

    1. Simplifying and dividing down are the same concept. What is another way?

  28. The two ways that I can tell you are yoy have two use the graetest comman factor so if yoy use 12/8 and 3/2 then the greatest comman factor is 4 so you would dived 4 out of both the 8 and the 12 and yo would get 3/2 and the other way is two symply the fraction out.
