All proportions have this form:

`\sf{(a)/(b)=(c)/(d)}`, Where
`\sf{(a)/(b)}` is equal to
`\sf{(c)/(d)}`.

If
`\sf{(a)/(b)\\eq(c)/(d)}`, it's not a proportion.

Here we have two pairs of numbers:

40,10 and 32,8.

Written As a proportion, they look like :

`\sf{(40)/(10)=(32)/(8)}`

Hope this made sense to you :)
