Answer
1. $\frac{5}{2}\ne$ (is not equal to) $\frac{5}{4}$
2. $\frac{10}{4}$ $=$ $\frac{20}{8}$ $=$ $\frac{30}{12}$ $=$ $\frac{40}{16}$ $= \frac{50}{20}$
Work Step by Step
1. This is not true because $\frac{10\div2}{4\div2} = \frac{5}{2}$ which is not equal to $ \frac{5}{4}$
2. To make true proportions, we must multiply the fraction by the same number on both sides
$\frac{10}{4}$ $=$ $\frac{10\times2}{4\times2}$ $=$ $\frac{20}{8}$
$\frac{10}{4} = \frac{10\times3}{4\times3} = \frac{30}{12}$
$\frac{10}{4} = \frac{10\times4}{4\times4} = \frac{40}{16}$
$\frac{10}{4} = \frac{10\times5}{4\times5} = \frac{50}{20}$
