Answer 2

7/9 = 42/54...when 42/54 reduces, it becomes 7/9...so this is proportional because proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions.

u could also check it this way...
12/21 = 15/24
cross multiply
(21)(15) = (12)(24)
315 = 288.....these do not equal and are therefore, not proportionate

440/4 = 300/3
110 = 100....not equal, so not proportionate

120/5 = 88/4
24 = 22.....not proportionate

66/82 = 99/123
0.804 = 0.804.......these are proportional

68/172 = 43/123
0.395 = 0.349......nope, not proportional
