Answer 1

not proportional

Explanation:

Answer 2

NOT PROPORTIONAL

Explanation:

The given two fractions are:
`$ (5)/(8) $` and
`$ (8)/(10) $`.

Proportional fractions are those which have the same value when to reduced to the simplest form.

Consider two fractions
`$ (p)/(q) $` and
`$ (x)/(y) $`.

We say they are proportional if
`$ p : q = x : y $`.

Or, if
`$ py = qx $` then we can say the fractions are proportional.

Here the fractions are:
`$ (5)/(8) $` and
`$ (8)/(10) $`.

LHS: 5 X 10 = 50.

RHS: 8 X 8 = 64.

Clearly they are not equal. So, we can say these two fractions are not proportional.
