Given the ratios:
6:9 and 2:3
Explanation:
The two ratios can be considered to be a proportion just by simply setting the first ratio, 6:9 into its lowest term. The given ratio is divisible by 3, and when set to the lowest term, it will become 2:3, which is equal to the other ratio. Therefore, we can assume the two ratios are proportional to each other.
