    • Artistes

    • Cleaner

    • Pastor

    Correct Answer
    A. Scientists
    Explanation
    Mathematical proportions are often used by scientists to compare information. Scientists use proportions to analyze and interpret data, make predictions, and draw conclusions. They use mathematical formulas and ratios to establish relationships between different variables and determine the scale or magnitude of a phenomenon. Proportions help scientists quantify and understand complex systems and phenomena, allowing them to make informed decisions and advance knowledge in their respective fields.

    The cross products of the ratios are equal when how many ratios are equal? - ProProfs

    The cross products of the ratios are equal when how many ratios are equal?

    • One

    • Two

    • Three

    • Four

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    When two ratios are equal, their cross products will be equal as well. This is because the cross product of a ratio is the product of the numerator of one ratio and the denominator of the other ratio. Therefore, if two ratios are equal, their cross products will always be equal.
