Which expression is a proportion? \r\n" );
document.write( "a) 2 = B\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "b) 2/5 = 6/x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "c) 2/5 x 6/x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "d) 12in./1ft.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thanks for the help\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "A proportion is an equation with one fraction on each side, and\r\n" );

document.write( " RIGHT NUMERATOR is to RIGHT DENOMINATOR\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the proportion\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2/5 = 6/x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "is not read\r\n" );
