Answer: No, the ratios 11/15 and 1/6 do not form a proportion.

Explanation: Proportion says that two ratios (or fractions) are equal.

Example:

Proportion 1/3 : 2/6

So 1-out-of-3 is equal to 2-out-of-6

The ratios are the same, so they are in proportion.

If I multiplied 1 by 11 and then 6 by 11, I would get 11/66, therefore 11/15 and 1/6 do not form a proportion.
