Determine if the proportion is true 0/0.5 = 1/3 Proportion is true Proportion is not true

We are given the following proportion
[tex]\frac{0}{0.5}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]We are asked to determine if the above proportion is true.
Recall that a true proportion is the one in which ratios on both sides of the equation are equivalent.
In the given case, 0/0.5 is basically 0 but the other side of the equation is not 0.
Therefore, this proportion is not true.
An example of a true proportion is given below
[tex]\frac{0}{0.5}=\frac{0}{3}[/tex]Another example of true proportion:
[tex]\frac{3}{6}=\frac{6}{12}[/tex]When you simplify the above ratios then you will get the equal ratios so that would make it a true proportion.
