The equivalent proportion is \( \frac{x+1}{2x}=\frac{x^{2}-7x+10}{4x} \).
Solución
We start with the original equation:
\[
\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{x^2-7x+10}{4x}
\]
Notice that the left-hand side contains two fractions. To combine them, we need a common denominator. The fractions \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{1}{2x}\) have denominators \(2\) and \(2x\) respectively. The least common denominator is \(2x\).
Rewrite \(\frac{1}{2}\) so that it has the denominator \(2x\):
\[
\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{2x}
\]
Now, the sum of the fractions becomes:
\[
\frac{x}{2x}+\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{x+1}{2x}
\]
Thus, the original equation can be rewritten as the following proportion:
\[
\frac{x+1}{2x}=\frac{x^2-7x+10}{4x}
\]

To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2 x}=\frac{x^{2}-7 x+10}{4 x} \) as a proportion, we first simplify the left-hand side. Combining the fractions on the left gives us: \[ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2x} = \frac{x + 1}{2x} \] Next, we compare the left-hand side to the right side of the equation: \[ \frac{x + 1}{2x} = \frac{x^2 - 7x + 10}{4x} \] Thus, the equivalent proportion to the original equation is: \[ \frac{x + 1}{2x} = \frac{x^2 - 7x + 10}{4x} \] Therefore, the correct option is: \( \frac{x+1}{2 x}=\frac{x^{2}-7 x+10}{4 x} \)
