Step 1
There are two ways to do it:
1) Division
You could divide the numerator by the denominator of each fraction to see if they are equal/in proportion or not:
42=2
2063.33
Thus, they do not form a proportion
2) LCM of Denominator
You could take both the denominators to one value, and see if the numerators of the fractions are the same:
42 will become 4×32×3
=126
Now, both the fractions have the same denominator, but the numerators are not the same number:
126206
Thus, they do not form a proportion.
