True

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 4/11 and you get 0.363636363636, which is the same if you take 12/33. So the proportion of the two is the same.

Alyssa Patrick · Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out if the proportion is true you have to find out what multiplied by 4 equals 12.

To find that out you have to divide 12 by 4 which equals 3.

Now you have to do the same for the denominators. So, 33/11 equals 3.

The proportion is true because the numerator and denominator are both multiplied by 3 to get 12 to 33.
