Given the ratio:
10/8
16/20
Explanation:
The given ratio is not proportional since we can see that the other fraction is an improper fraction, whereas the other one is a proper fraction. Hence if we simply both fractions by dividing with their common factors, 2 for 10/8 and 4 for 16/20, we'll have,
10/8 = 5/4
16/20 = 4/5
