Answer:

C

Explanation:

By definition a proportion should be equal to each other and can be multiplied by the same number on the numerator and the denominator to make the second fraction.


(x_1)/(y_1)=(x_2)/(y_2)


(x_1)/(y_1)*(z)/(z)=(x_2)/(y_2)

A


(3)/(7)*(3)/(3)=(9)/(21)

So it is a proportion.

B


(24)/(56)/(8)/(8)=(3)/(7)

So it is a proportion.

C


(3)/(7)*(3)/(4)=(9)/(28)

So it is not a proportion.

D


(3)/(7)*(4)/(4)=(12)/(28)
