6 bouquets for every 14 corsages

7 bouquets for every 19 corsages

no. to see if two ratios form a proportion, you need to convert them into fractions, reduce, and if they are both the same they form a proportion. when reducing 6/14 and 7/19, you get 3/7 and a decimal, not equal to each other. therefore, these ratios do not form a proportion
