Answer 2

The ratios are equivalent and the ratios are proportional.

Explanation:

Shelley sold one customer 5 peanut butter biscuits for $3 and she sold another customer 7 beef treats for $4.20.

Therefore, the cost of 1 peanut butter biscuit is
`(3)/(5) = 0.6` Dollars.

Again the cost of 1 beef treat is
`(4.2)/(7) = 0.6` Dollars.

So, the cost of 1 peanut butter biscuit is equal to the cost of 1 beef treat.

Therefore, the ratios are equivalent and the ratios are proportional. (Answer)
