Image A has width 60 cm and height 40 cm. Image D has width 90 cm and height 60 cm. Which statement about these two images is correct?

Show answer

Both ratios reduce to 3 : 2, The images are proportional

Step 1: Reduce 60:40 by dividing by 20 to get 3:2. Step 2: Reduce 90:60 by dividing by 30 to get 3:2. Step 3: Since both simplest forms are the same, the images are proportional.
