Applying the Law of multiple proportions

For the combination, AB

1 g of A combines with \frac{5}{2}g\; of\; B=2.5g\; of\; B

For AB2

1 g of A combines\frac{10}{2}g\; of\; B=5g\; of\; B

For A2B

1 g of A combines with\frac{5}{4}g\; of\; B=1.25g\; of\; B

For A2B2

1 g of A combines with\frac{15}{4}g\; of\; B=3.75g\; of\; B

Thus, it is proved that Law of multiple proportions is applicable.
