Answer:

No

Explanation:

To find out if the fractions are proportional, we have to first simplify them if needed.

We can simplify 12/21 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3.

12 ÷ 3 = 4

21 ÷ 3 = 7

The simplified fraction is 4/7

3/7 and 4/7 are not equal, so the fractions are not proportional.
