Answer :

3/5 and 6/10 are a true proportion.  Just simplify the fractions and see which ones have been factored down enough to be the same. 

A true proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equal.

1) The given ratios in their lowest form are:

[tex] \frac{1}{2} and \frac{6}{10} =\frac{3}{5} [/tex]

The two ratios are not equal.

2) The given ratios in their lowest form are :

[tex] \frac{6}{8} =\frac{3}{4} and \frac{5}{20} =\frac{1}{4} [/tex]

The two ratios are not equal.

3) The given ratios in their lowest form are :

[tex] \frac{3}{5} and \frac{6}{10} =\frac{3}{5} [/tex]

The two ratios are equal and hence it is True proportion

4) The given ratios in their lowest form are :

[tex] \frac{3}{9} =\frac{1}{3} and \frac{7}{80} [/tex]

The two ratios are not the same .

The third option the ratios [tex] \frac{3}{5} and \frac{6}{10} [/tex] are in true proportion.
