These ratios are not proportional.
Explanation:
If the ratio 8:32 were simplified, it would equal 1:4 because they can both be divided by 8. But since 16 x 4 does not equal 72, they cannot be divided by 4 to make a simplified ratio such as the first example.
Hope I helped, and good luck!

Answer:
A) 40
B) length = 4.275 km; not quite true. See below for explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Your calculator can tell you the ratio ...
(national pennies)/(local pennies) = (8×10⁶)/(2×10⁵)
= (8/2)×10⁶⁻⁵ = 4×10¹ = 40
The national drive collected 40 times as many pennies as the Valley Stream Central goal.
__
B) Multiplying the number of pennies by the diameter of each will tell the length of the line of pennies. That length can be compared to the 5 km distance to determine if the reporter's statement is true. (It is <em>not</em> true.)
length of string = (length of penny) × (number of pennies)
= (19×10⁻⁶ km) × (2.25×10⁵) = 42.75×10⁻¹ km = 4.275 km
The length of the pennies laid side-to-side is less than 5.0 km. The reporter's statement is not true.
