About This Quiz

A proportion is a mathematical comparison between two numbers. Often, these numbers can represent a comparison between things or people. For example, say you walked into a room full of people. You want to know how many boys there are in comparison to how many girls there are in the room. You would write that comparison in the form of a proportion.

    Only .... has to do with solving equations?

    • Literature

    • Music

    • Maths

    • Biology

    Correct Answer
    A. Maths
    Explanation
    Maths is the only subject among the given options that primarily deals with solving equations. It involves the study of numbers, quantity, and space, and focuses on logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. In mathematics, equations are used to represent relationships between variables, and solving these equations is a fundamental aspect of the subject. Literature, music, and biology do not typically involve solving equations as a central component of their study.

    Mathematical proportions are often used by ..... to compare information.

    • Drivers

    • Hunters

    • Artistes

    • Scientists

    Correct Answer
    A. Scientists
    Explanation
    Mathematical proportions are often used by scientists to compare information. Scientists use proportions to analyze data and make comparisons between different variables. Proportions allow them to determine relationships and patterns, and draw conclusions based on the data they have collected. By using mathematical proportions, scientists can make accurate and reliable comparisons, which are essential in their research and investigations.

    How many equal fractions does it take make a proportion? - ProProfs

    How many equal fractions does it take make a proportion?

    • One

    • Two

    • Three

    • Four

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal. In order to form a proportion, we need two equal fractions. If we only have one fraction, we cannot compare it to anything and determine if it is proportional or not. Therefore, it takes two equal fractions to make a proportion.

    A proportion is a mathematical comparison between how many numbers?

    • One

    • Two

    • Three

    • Four

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    A proportion is a mathematical comparison between two numbers. It involves comparing the ratio of one number to another number. In a proportion, the two numbers are typically represented as fractions or ratios and are equal to each other. Therefore, the correct answer is two.

    It also has a relationship with ....? - ProProfs

    It also has a relationship with ....?

    • Percentage

    • Indices

    • Ratio

    • LCM

    Correct Answer
    A. Ratio
    Explanation
    The concept of ratio is closely related to the given question. Ratio is a comparison of two or more quantities and it helps in understanding the relationship between them. In this context, percentage, indices, and LCM do not have a direct relationship with the question. Therefore, ratio is the most appropriate choice as it is commonly used to establish relationships between quantities.

    You can tell if ..... fractions are proportional by using cross multiplication.  - ProProfs

    You can tell if ..... fractions are proportional by using cross multiplication. 

    • One

    • Two

    • Three

    • Four

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    To determine if two fractions are proportional, cross multiplication can be used. This involves multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction, and then multiplying the numerator of the second fraction by the denominator of the first fraction. If the two products are equal, then the fractions are proportional. This method helps in comparing the relative sizes of fractions and identifying if they have the same ratio or proportion.

    Proportion has a relationship with which of the following? - ProProfs

    Proportion has a relationship with which of the following?

    • Algebra

    • Indices

    • Percentage

    • LCM

    Correct Answer
    A. Algebra
    Explanation
    Proportion has a relationship with Algebra because proportions involve comparing two ratios or fractions. In Algebra, proportions are often used to solve equations and find the value of unknown variables. By setting up a proportion, we can determine the relationship between different quantities and find the missing value. Therefore, Algebra is closely related to the concept of proportion.

    Who among these men is a not a scientist?

    • Albert Einstein

    • Wole Soyinka

    • Isaac Newton

    • Bill Nye

    Correct Answer
    A. Wole Soyinka
