Yes. They would be proportional. A comparison in this instance would be proportional if there was some relation between them. Let's look at them :


(48)/(9) and
(16)/(3)

Once you divided 48 by 16, you would get 3, which implies that 48 divided by 3 is 16. So in the same time, you would have to do the same to the denominator, which you do to the numerator. 9 divided by 3 is 3.

This makes the relationship proportional.

Yes, because of you divide by 3, 48/9 can be simplified to 16/3.
