Colin Savage · Answer 1

So is 6/12 = 8/10

we see if we can make them the same

first we simplify

6/12 = (2 times 3) / (2 times 2 times 3) = 1/2 times 6/6

6/12=1/2

8/10=4/5

is 1/2=4/5

1/2=5/10

4/5=8/10

5/10≠8/10

they are not proportinal

No they are not because is you set it up as a proportion and cross multiply you get a different answer
