do the ratios \$\frac{1}{2}\$ and \$\frac{8}{16}\$ form a proportion?
yes
no

Simplify $\frac{8}{16}$ by dividing numerator and denominator by 8. So $\frac{8\div8}{16\div8}=\frac{1}{2}$.

The first ratio is $\frac{1}{2}$ and the simplified second ratio is also $\frac{1}{2}$. Since they are equal, they form a proportion.

yes
