Example 10 Do the ratios 15 cm to 2 m and 10 sec to 3 minutes form a proportion?2m = 2 Γ— 100 cm = 200 cm 3 min = 3 Γ— 60 sec = 180 sec 15 cm : 2 m = (15 π‘π‘š)/(2 π‘š) = (15 π‘π‘š)/(200 π‘π‘š) = 15/200 = 3/40 = 3 : 40 10 sec : 3 min = (10 π‘π‘š)/(3 π‘šπ‘–π‘›) = (10 𝑠𝑐)/(180 𝑠𝑒𝑐) = 10/180 = 1/18 = 1 : 18 ∴ 15 cm : 2 m β‰  10 sec : 3 min Thus, Given ratios are not in proportion
