Proportion Identification
Which of the following represents a proportion?
(a) The price of \(3\,\text{kg}\) of bananas is \(54\,\text{LE}\), and the price of \(5\,\text{kg}\) of bananas is \(80\,\text{LE}\)
(b) \(10\) goals out of \(12\) attempts, and \(12\) goals out of \(18\) attempts
(c) Reading \(3\) books in \(2\) months, and reading \(9\) books in \(6\) months
(d) \(144\) pulses in \(2\) minutes, and \(210\) pulses in \(3\) minutes
Option (c) represents a proportion because:
\[ \frac{3\,\text{books}}{2\,\text{months}} = \frac{9\,\text{books}}{6\,\text{months}} \]
\[ 3 \times 6 = 2 \times 9 \]
