The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given ratios are not in proportion, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of proportion Proportional ratios mean that the ratio of A to B is equal to the ratio of C to D, i.e., \( \frac{A}{B} = \frac{C}{D} \). ### Step 2: Check each option We will check each option one by one to see if they are proportional. #### Option 1: - Ratios: \( \frac{20}{150} \) and \( \frac{70}{525} \) - Simplifying \( \frac{20}{150} \): - Divide both by 10: \( \frac{2}{15} \) - Simplifying \( \frac{70}{525} \): - Divide both by 35: \( \frac{2}{15} \) - Since both ratios are equal, this option is proportional. #### Option 2: - Ratios: \( \frac{350}{700} \) and \( \frac{150}{300} \) - Simplifying \( \frac{350}{700} \): - Divide both by 350: \( \frac{1}{2} \) - Simplifying \( \frac{150}{300} \): - Divide both by 150: \( \frac{1}{2} \) - Since both ratios are equal, this option is proportional. #### Option 3: - Ratios: \( \frac{3}{12} \) and \( \frac{400}{1050} \) - Simplifying \( \frac{3}{12} \): - Divide both by 3: \( \frac{1}{4} \) - Simplifying \( \frac{400}{1050} \): - Divide both by 50: \( \frac{8}{21} \) - Since \( \frac{1}{4} \) is not equal to \( \frac{8}{21} \), this option is not proportional. #### Option 4: - Ratios: \( \frac{0.35}{0.5} \) and \( \frac{70}{3000} \) - Simplifying \( \frac{0.35}{0.5} \): - Multiply both by 100: \( \frac{35}{50} \) which simplifies to \( \frac{7}{10} \) - Simplifying \( \frac{70}{3000} \): - Divide both by 10: \( \frac{7}{300} \) - Since \( \frac{7}{10} \) is not equal to \( \frac{7}{300} \), this option is also not proportional. ### Conclusion The ratios that are not in proportion are found in Option 3 and Option 4. ### Final Answer The ratios that are not in proportion are from **Option 3** and **Option 4**. ---
