Solution:

First, let's simplify both the fractions.

Simplifying both fractions.

  • 28.5/42 = 57/84 = 19/28
  • 19/28 is already in simplest form.

Checking to see if both ratios are proportional.

  • => 28.5:42::19:28
  • => 19:28::19:28 [Proportional]

We can conclude that both ratios are the same.

Hence, they are proportional.
