Answer:

[tex]\text{(A) Hence, The ratio }\frac{10}{20}\text{ form a proportion by common multiplier 3 to get }\frac{30}{60}[/tex]

[tex]\text{(B) Hence, Both ratio are equal to }\frac{1}{2}\text{ in simplest form. }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) We need to show both fraction of same proportion.

Ratio 1:  [tex]\frac{10}{20}[/tex]

If we multiply by 3 at numerator and denominator

[tex]\RIghtarrow \frac{10\times 3}{20\times 3}[/tex]

[tex]\RIghtarrow \frac{30}{60}[/tex]

[tex]\RIghtarrow \frac{30}{60} \text{ is equivalent ratio of second one }\frec{30}{60}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Hence, The ratio }\frac{10}{20}\text{ form a proportion by common multiplier 3 to get }\frac{30}{60}[/tex]

(B) Now we simplify both ration into simplest form

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{10\div 10}{20\div 10}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{30\div 30}{60\div 30}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Hence, Both ratio are equal to }\frac{1}{2}\text{ in simplest form. }[/tex]
