Explanation:
There are two ways to do it:
1) Division
You could divide the numerator by the denominator of each fraction to see if they are equal/in proportion or not:
Thus, they do not form a proportion.
2) LCM of Denominator
You could take both the denominators to one value, and see if the numerators of the fractions are the same:
Now, both the fractions have the same denominator, but the numerators are not the same number:
Thus, they do not form a proportion.
